Vortech MP40 question
I was wondering if you any of you guys that run this thing use it without the foam guard? Just a question I have heard a fish will get sucked up without it is this true?

i dont use mine foam guard on my mp40. i think its more for nems then fish. the only thing to watch out for is if u turn off the pump make sure none of ur fish decided to sit inside the pump.

I don't use the foam guard, it reduces flow too much for my taste. IME, only very small or very sick fish get sucked into the Vortech. (I have 2 MP40W's)
