Tailspot Blenny Loves to Sit Inside Vortech MP40

praveen956 · 04/25/2018, 03:46 PM

So my new Tailspot blenny loveees to go inside the MP40 when the pump is off.

Because of this I stopped turning the pump off during the feed time. I still manually turn the pump on/off when feeding the coral.

I use the foam pad around but nothing stops it from going inside the pump on the front. Its just a matter of time before I forget to turn the pump on without seeing him or a power outage turns off and on the pump.

I wonder what others do in this case. Is there any product to cover the front of pump?!

I use apex feed mode as my mp40 is hooked up to it. When in feed mode it turns the pump down to I think 10%.

Someone has made 3d printed covers for the mp's. Unfortunately I cannot tell you who are where to get one.
