I was looking at putting filter media over the ends of the powerheads, and then cleaning it as needed. I also have 2 anenome walls built, so hopefully any anenomes that I get won't be able to get off of them.

Johnny Reefer,

I also use Quickfilter guards. They are absolutely the safest.

ponokareefer,

What the heck is an "anemone wall"? I guarantee you that if the anemone doesn't like your wall, it will move.

Haven't posted this timelapse video for awhile, but here's how much an anemone can move in one night

The only problem is that the quickfilter guards are SO LARGE.... unless there's another guard?

Cut section out. Glue back together. Done.

cool video, the snails sure move around a lot as well but that anemone really wanders.

I cut my Quickfiltes down to to less than half of the original size, then use crazy glue to glue them some of the parts together. The top I leave unglued so I can open it up and clean inside. Gets pretty cruddy in there after awhile, even when there are no foams inside.

Doug, I was very surprised to see how much the can move in 10 minutes, and that was a 37g with nothing but rock in it. Imagine a tankful of corals and unprotected powerheads
