Wave type Pump - Filter ?

[george29]

Hi,

Looking to increase the flow in the tank with one of the wave type pumps on a low steady setting, but a bit concerned that the dwarf Corys might get sucked in though some rather wide inlet spokes.

Any idea as to the best material to fit over the inlet , thought about some nylon net curtain material or the plastic mesh from a cooking sieve or winding/gluing a lattice with some fine fishing line...?

How about a small powerhead with some foamblock over the intake.
I used one in my 125 liter tank, the outflow has a aimable and removable "spoiler"

Hi,

Missed the obvious - never thought of foam !
