For the MJ use a bio ball on the inlet. As for the Seio's I haven't heard any DIY covers out there but I bet someone could come up with something that would work. Good luck!

just kind of let it suck up the bio ball?

wow thats brilliant ive always used a sponge but it always gets sucked up into the impelor and makes an awful noise. I dont use Powerheads anymore but thats good info to have.

I happen to have 1, ONE, UNO bio ball that fell out of the sack I gave Flyingarmy. Come get this surface skimmer and I'll give you the bioball too!!!!!
