    I use a lot of hagen 802 power heads and what I did was go to a hydroponics store and buy a bunch of the smallest "baskets" they use for starting plants.
    I glue gun them to the base of the power head and they work just fine for me.
    You could also buy a quick filter that hagen sells for them and leave out the filter material. That would work best but I didn't like the cost or the large size for my tanks.

    Good save, if it ever happens again, turn the powerhead off, the anenome will come back out on its own, less stress and damage to the anenome and money saved on a new ph ...

    I believe he has made it. My K4 made it too. I only cut the ends of 3 of the vents and bent them away so that I could remove my LTA then I bent them back. So, no harm really. My LTA did move up under some rocks for a day and a half and then he finally came sneeking back out to the light again, right before I went digging for him, lol. I didn't want him to go hide and die on me. But, he was big as ever today and his one side looks a little nubby but I think he will be ok. Thank goodness. I would have been so sad, the look I got from those clown fish when I put him back in was heart breaking.
