Blennies and Tunzes

[raynist]

I am worried that one of my blennies will perch inside one of my tunzes (2x6000 on 7095 in my 75g tank) when it is switched off (when the other channel is active). I thought I read in the manual that there was a way for the impeller to spin slowly to discourage fish going into the opening. I can't seem to find how to activate this.

Also, does anyone have a problem with their fish going into the housing when it is off? In my 180g tank I have a 6060 and as soon as I turn it off to feed my bi color goes into it. I am afraid if the power goes out sometime he may go inside and get chopped up when it turns on. Has anyone made any type of gaurd to stop this from happening?

Thanks
Ray

I have a LM blenny, he likes to nibble on the film on the streams but other than that he stays away.

I use the Tunze rock and 6000 mounted on the back wall of my tank. My LM Blenny was setting in the opening the other night during feeding. When the stream came back on, it blew him up to the surface and halfway across the tank. I haven't seen him go near them since.
I am thinking about buying one of the protective grates that are used on the wavebox. Its part number 6212.20. and looks like it could be mounted on the rock. What do you think?

Ray,

The feature is called fish care and it is automatic if the pump has the 7240.27 driver and is turned off by the controller and not a timer or switch it spins once every 20sec.

My best advice is use Interval2 so the pump is never off.
