Tunze streams and Anemones

[xtm]

Who's using Tunze streams in their tank? Do you put any kind of protection around it? or do you think the grates are small enough that the anemone will be safe?

I'd like to see some pics of your Tunze streams with protective mesh (if any)

thanks

Good trick I use that I read somewhere on the forum... If jello can be sucked into it, it isn't safe for anemones. I use sponge guards for smaller powerheads and plastic canvas from the craft section at Walmart for larger powerheads. It is extremely easy to make a cube out of the canvas to place the powerhead into.

I use Streams and one of my RBTA's decided to climb the side of the tank and went right for the Stream. It pushed its foot through the screen that surrounds the impeller and got cut up a little. It has since recovered but it was a close call.
The key is to keep the anemones on the rocks by placing them on islands that do not touch the sides of the tank.

my tunze chopped a fairly large RBTA into bits. It didnt help that i had cut every other guard on the tunze. So now my tunzes are high on the glass, no where near the rocks.
