Waiting for nem guards

[radreef02]

Hey guys , running my tank with just my return pump on max. With mp10s off till I get my nem guards. Any idea how long I could go like this ? Return pump is running 800gph on dual direction return nozzle

You could always rubber band a piece of foam or mesh netting in the interrum and set them to low percentage.

Would the mesh that the mp10 comes with be enough to not kill a nem ? My nem kept trying to float near my mp10 like it was ab to get sucked in. So I cut it off haha. I have filter floss I could rubber band around them

That mesh is totally fine for that purpose. The issue with that mesh is that is traps detritus easily. It will keep your nems from being sucked up and when your other guard arrived you will have a more permanent solution that's easier to keep clean.

Thanks man, and if they do get shredded while I’m gone and my wife is at home, can she just take it out and prime the tank till I get back or would it be to late

It's very unlikely they would get shredded. Once they find a spot and are happy, they tend not to move.

I have an unguarded mp40 on my 29g(it runs at only 10%, it has bearing issues and is loud at higher speeds, so I took it off my 180g), and my anemones have never come close to it. They haven't moved in years, other than a split moves a few inches.

The nems are certain to move, they moved to shaded areas haha . They’ll be about today

I no longer can see them lol. Will they dig themselves out of this rock to find light or will they starve themselves?
