The purpose of this thread is to give suggestions on how to protect your anemone from the evil powerhead! As reefers we often get nems and often we make the mistake of not protecting our powerheads from our wandering nems. There are several different options on how to protect the nem but I would like to hear more suggestions. I am looking to increase flow with powerheads but I am not going to risk my RBTA.
Please post what kind of powerhead you are using and how you protect your nem from getting sucked up into it.
MJ 1200---Stuffed sponge in the intake.
Pros: Nem doesnt get sucked up.
Cons: Must be cleaned often. Sometimes the sponge gets sucked up into the impeler and must be pulled out(makes an annoying noise)
