Mmmm - I can't seem to edit my message, of a few minutes ago, so had to post a new one

Just wanted to add that the foams need to be rinsed daily, as they WILL reduce the flow considerably as crud accumulates in them...

Here you go folks.. compliments of RC. A cheap and free , effective intake guard. Seeing as most of us use the Seio's as Tunze style.. simply cut here:



Use the top half (the box part) Apply to the Seio and BAM... intake guard.

Will be doing this when I get home

Umm, wouldn't an anemone still be able to get sucked through that?

Quoted from Highlander on RC:


"The pull will be less through the slots on the secondary cover, because there are more of them, and they are longer"
