Thread: Power Head cover

    Default Power Head cover

    Is it OK to use a nylon scrubber to cover the bottom of my power head that I have in my aquarium so my fish do not get stuck in it. I do not connect it to anything else.
    thank you

    I would suggest a regular sponge pre-filter for that purpose. Go to www.premiumaquatics.com and enter "MJ-PREF" in the search box, check them out...
    And HEY! Welcome to MAAST!

    Most poweheads come with a plastic cup shaped cover for that purpose. If you don't have the one that came with yours, ask around, someone usually has a spare.

    I had one of those sponge pre filters on my powerhead, but it also attracted debris, which got stuck in the fibers...aybe it produces a current stronger than my filter? Anyways, I was concerned that it might cause ammonia spikes so I removed it...What is the maintenance on these? does one clean them every how often?
