    I'd like to cover my power heads with some kind of mesh?… to protect my inverts like Anemone from getting in. What you guys use? Thanks in advance.

    Go to the shoe store and grab some of those free nylon footies in the boxes they leave out for women to use when trying on shoes. Slip them over the powerhead and secure with a rubber band stolen from your office. Voila! Free powerhead cover.

    I made one a while back that consisted of a piece of foam about a half inch thick. It was a big rectangle that I glued the end together and slipped it around the pump. It did a good job but had to clean it daily and slowed the flow.
