Default powerhead sucks

I came home today to see my powerhead eating my sebae anemone I have had this for a year and some and it grew from a baseball sized bleached white mess into a beautifully tan colored 12-13 inch across monster. My maroon clown and I are very sad today

Thanks Chris. I'm not sure what to think about the first post as I think it might have been a little smart #$%ed.

What is with the rude comments? WWWD, your attitude is almost the same in every post to each person on the board. Just something I've noticed.

Really sorry to hear about the loss... must be tough. Hopefully you can find another sebae to replace him.

Scott

I'm not sure the above comment was meant to be taken as rude. More educational with a twist of humor, would be my take. It was quite funny!
There are measures we can take so this does not happen. Too bad we all don't know everything when we need to know it

I disagree... I am not trying to or wanting to start an argument.. but in quite a few posts I have read by that person there is always attitude or sarcasm, or whatever it may be... in other words, there is no need for the attitude.. how hard is it to say "maybe you should consider putting up foam guards on your powerhead so this doesn't happen again" ...

"My anemone just got mulched by my powerhead.. "

This comes up time and time again. Im not sure why people do not think to protect their livestock, especially anemones (that can move if they so desire) from them.

I have to agree with WWWD on this one. Its common sense stuff guys..

haha. No one was disagreeing, I completely agree as well. I guess it doesn't matter either way, I just think sarcasm can be left out! neither here or there.... Sorry for your loss eskimo.
