2.7 Gallon Pico

I think two turbos for a pico is just too many. Even one turbo might starve. Turbos are voracious eater and I think you might want to move to something slower and less voracious.

Google around. There are hundreds of stories of anemone being sucked into power heads and filters. It is advised to put some screening or other protection around PH until they settle... even then they could release at anytime and decide to go for a float.

Ya I think roaming and got suckrd up. I guess ill have to make a guard up for the filers intake out of a pill bottle. Much like a snail guard for floats

The ones I saw at J and L were simple foam pieces tied around the intake with elastic bands.

Yah there is a filter pad made for my ac 30 but I dont know how I feel about it collecting so much garbage and sand particulate It will flux my flow in the tank. Perhaps I have too much flow for maxi-mini carpet anemones, my tank cycles 10 times an hour, avg about 265 gph... is this too much?
