LF MP10 foam guards

I don't have any for sale but thought I would share an alternate solution. The guards clog up & restrict flow when the do. They need to be changed & cleaned frequently. I switched to some DIY guards made from nylon mesh held together by fishing line that I like better. These don't need to be cleaned as often, still protect the anemones / invertebrates, & the flow doesn't decrease much if you forget to clean them out for awhile. The nylon mesh is the same stuff people make algae scrubbers out of sold at craft store. A few bucks for several sheets.

I've been looking for some of those stretchy mesh tubes, Like fruit sometimes comes in. The right diameter, Preferably black, To slip over PH's and just toss em when they get cloggy. No luck yet.
