best method to child "fish" proof koralia 3&4's

I already lost my Canary Blenny to the powerhead, now i'm afraid my new clowns are getting too close?

what can I cover them with that wont restrict the flow but keeps the fish safe at the same time and won't also result in an inordinate amout of extra maitenance? :-/

 

Yikes, that's a tall order...

 

tell me about it!

 

I guess a not-so-tightly-weaved mesh screen would be best suited to not clogging and keeping the fish out.

 

i thought koralias came with a guard?

 

the snail guard keeps them out of the front, trying to prevent them getting sucked into the intake slots along the sides.

 

oh damn! My bad, IDK. I wonder if a bridal mesh covering would work?

 

someone mentioned using that in an old thread, basicly said it requires changing weekly.

 

how about some 18x16 mesh black insert screen, cut it to wrap around housing. secure with 2 small black plastic zip ties. plus you could get screen bigger holes if you want. 14x14 or whatever..

 

To be honest, I don't think a healthy fish could get stuck to a Korallia powerhead. It pulls water from so many areas. It's not like a maxijet that has one intake.
