Small covering for the intake of the filter made from an old fishnet, or a pair of nylons. Remove after feeding or clean daily. Turn the filter off when feeding bloodworms, be sure to turn it back on right away. It dosn't take muck time without water flow for the biofilter in your filter to die off, generally about an hour or so without water flow and they start knocking off. ^_^  |
