the irony of it all - bn pleco, who brought in ick got chopped up last night by my additional waterpump... when i was scraping him off the pump i've noticed some algae on the inner side of it - he had plenty everywhere else! any suggestions how to prevent this from happening with smaller fish in the future? maybe some kind of mesh around the blowing part? still can't believe - all this drama and $$$ and the source of it just quits on me like that! Uhhh...
