foxface vs dumb powerhead

[emmitt21]

so today i got up and looked at the tank and my one spot foxface was awkwardly still right in front of a koralia 550 ph. it took me a second to tell it was even stuck, he looked calm and his color was as bright as ever. the first thing i thought to do was pull him off of it with a net. he swam away seemingly fine and came out to eat and is doing his normal daily things.

the problem was my power flickered on and off last night and i didnt realize it but the powerhead was running in reverse ever since then. im assuming the ff wasnt stuck there for very long but he does have some marks on his side. will he be ok, and will his wounds heal fast enough? like ive said tho he is acting perfectly fine and is eating/seems happy.

This has been an ongoing issue with the koralias. If you search koralia spinning backward you will get several results. Unplug it and plug it back in and it should be fine. Hard to say about the fish without a picture.

If he's behaving as he did before the incident, I'd say he's should be fine.

My koralias did that too. You should email them and they'll ship you new covers for free. The new covers have bigger bumpers on the inside to keep them from running in reverse

My koralias have done that in the past, got a new cover and it didn't have any issues after that.

+1 New covers took care of the problem for me too.
