    I have two of these running in the tank. I noticed how open the front of them are.
    Has anyone had a problem with fish swimming inside of them and getting chopped up by the propeller?!!!

    I got mine used. They have four 2" openings in the front. Is that where they get a guard?

    There's a piece that goes on the front with a fish guard and a flow director.

    i know a person that runs them just like that in the picture with no problems. yet he does have 4-6 inch fish so they probably wouldnt fit

    that fish must have been sick or weak before hand... unless it was a very small fish?
