maxi jet 900 with mod

i have it hooked up in my 72g bow. It killed 2 of my chromis. it didnt chop them but the got sucked against the propellar housing. is there any way to prevent this from happening?

 

That PH didnt come with a protective fitting to place at the suction port? Luna

 

They usually come with a 1/2x2" strainer that slips up on the inlet port of the pumps Impeller housing Like Luna asked did it not come with a strainer for the pump ?

 

i think he has a maxijet with the sureflow mod on it

 

He may have to McGyver something. I had to. I had a PH that ripped up a turbo snail.

 

this is what i have. Basically the chromis swim near it and get sucked against the cover, not inside.

 

Ohhhhh dig it. Is there any way to structure something around it (like LR)? Does your wall go up that high? Otherwise, I cannot think of a thing. Sorry.

 

I have this mod for my maxi jet 1200, usually if the fish is healthy it should not be able to get stuck to it, unless an unreasonalbe amount of flow. I have 3 chromis and so far they have gotten near it, but just swim away. Were the fish new to the tank?

 

the only thing i can think of doing while keeping the flow is putting some sort of wire cage around the powerhead. it is located near the surface so rock around it isn't a choice. the chromis have been in the tank for 2 months. the sureflow is only a week old.

 

anyone have any other easier ideas to keep my fish from getting sucked in?? maybe i should just get lower flow powerheads with sponges. it sucks i spent 45$ on this setup.
