2.7 Gallon Pico

Take a aqua clear mini sponge, take the scissors and nip down the center of it just enough to slip it over the intake. Make sure the foam is length wise up so it covers the whole intake. Been using this for several things in my tanks for years works like a charm and has no effect on the flow or working of the filter at all.

Just take off and rinse once in a while. Very easy to do.

That's good to know. I had an extra down stem sitting around so I modded it and am going to test it out. On wednesday but thanks foe the idea on the mini foam.

So after my maxi-mini mis hap (r.i.p. Carl) My tank has since been rescaped filter cleaned out and bits moved around for more room. but I noticed my tongs though claiming stainless steelness have started to rust? if put into the tank will it kill my inverts?

I guess you didn't clean your tong with freshwater after using it in your tank :P

Mine also caught rust. You can use sand paper or something rough to clean the rust.
