In the year since we've had our SW tank we have lost at least 4 fish to death by powerhead. They get stuck to the intake. I've read numerous posts on here that a healthy fish won't be weak enough to get stuck to a powerhead but I am starting to disagree. The most recent was a very healthy yellow tang who swam strongly and ate very well.
I've lost 2 coral beauties, 2 yellow tangs and a CC star to the power head. I've tried to add pre filter sponge but it falls off very easily and I find it hours later floating in the tank.
I have 2 maxi jets 1200s. They come with 2 different options for caps. One they call the Undergravel filter adapter and the other a prefilter grid support. I have tried both.
Can someone who has a successful set up for their power head please post a picture of what your powerhead set up looks like?
We are getting so frustrated with the killer power heads.
