Death trap return nozzle

[Gzfrank]

Hey folks,

Has anyone else had issues with a random flow nozzle trapping and killing fish? As of this morning, the count is now two.

Tested my water this morning to eliminate any issues.

Running 6 in my main tank over a year and no issues

My tailspot blenny got caught by one. Head first in this area. Is this where your fish got stuck?

Has anyone added mesh to prevent this from happening?

 

[Gzfrank]

Yes, that’s the spot.

I am ordering some 7 Mesh plastic canvas that I have seen people use as anemone guards on wave makers. Not sure exactly how on gonna do it, but I’ll post a pic when I’m done.

I thought I was the only person this ever happened to and was really second guessing my thought that he got sucked in vs just died and then got sucked in. But all other fish were and are healthy. And this guy was happy and healthy and ate in the morning.
