Covering Powerheads

Your having a bad time of it target. You tell tooo many lies and cannot
keep up with them. The multitude of lies bites you every time you turn
around. Trust me on this, its proven that the truth is so much more
easier to keep up with than lies are..

What is everyone using to cover their powerheads to prevent anemone
accidents? I use sponges to cover my Hagen's, but they are a
pain. Anyone doing it another way?





Umm......thanks...er...I guess........

tell us about it!!
welcome to the strange side of usenet
after a while you will recognise the poster
and just ignore/killfile
somehow they are getting satisfaction from the weird posts
I'm glad they are finding some sort of meaning or something
but yes
very strange.


It is a very different ummm.....experience posting here now
than it was a few years ago.

An easy answer is to just get rid of the powerheads.
I did that many years ago.

I flipped mine upside down, so they suck from the top instead of the
bottom. My anemones have given up glass climbing for the moment, but I
was planning to use fiber or similar w/ rubber bands. I haven't found a
sponge that would work that well accept that some powerheads come with
extended uptakes to house the sponge. This might reduce suction enough
to avoid anemone death.

My ritteri finally found a perch with a lot of flow. I would never have
guessed that they would like that much current, but he's stayed put
within 48 hrs of adding new power heads.

Good idea. I'll just stir the water around with a
big spoon every half hour.

And the best part about it is that it is good
exercise :-)

But seriously I use one large dependable external
pump to pump the water from the sump to the reef
tank, and that is the only pump I use.

I found that to be a bit tiring, so I bought a Tunze.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.

That's a good idea, but this is only a 20gal tank with just the anemone in it.

LOL! Yep, I guess it would be a tad boring.
Since this is just a 20gal tank, I've been using a Hagen. I just ordered one of the following. I'll see how it goes.
If it's too powerful for my 20gal, I'll put it in one of my bigger tanks.

Yea a 20 gallon tank is a bit small for that :-)

Looks neat. I like the mounting arrangement.

Well, I bought the smaller Tunze (IIRC, 1600 gph). I was worried that the larger
one would be too much flow for my 125. Now I wish I had opted for the larger
one. I may pick up one of these units an put it down at the opposite end of the
tank from the Tunze.
