A good reason not to turn your power heads off

    I've been using the feed mode on my Apex instead of the one on my Reeflink. The difference is the Apex completely shuts the powerheads off while the Reeflink one just slows them way down. Last night it cost me my 2 spot bristletooth tang.

    This guy was always eating biofilm off the glass and the outside of the powerheads but lately when the heads were off he's been sticking his head in the front of the MP 40's and eating off the prop. Found him jammed about halfway in the front of my right MP40 about 15 minutes after feeding. He was way too big to get sucked in to the intake of the pump so I'm sure he was in the MP when the motor came back on. Stinks!
