Angry Grrr!!!!

Well I was at my new fav lfs yesterday and picked up a very cool active lettuce nudi. Was doing great and all of a sudden it got wisped off the glass and into the power head (k1 or the k nano). No more lettuce nudi! Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

dang sorry for your loss that is one of the major risks of nudis

one way to prevent them from getting sucked through a power-head is to wrap them in a thin sponge

Really? Will the power head heat up or work harder and burn out?

nope wont hurt the power-head you just might loose a tiny bit of flow

if I remember corectly someone even makes sponge material to go around a korilia power-head

but if you cant find it

I use this if I ever have to protect somthing like that

or similar sponge material like that

with your korilia just wrap it around the outside and use 2 or 3 or more if needed rubber bands to hold it on the pump
