RE: Anti-overflow hole in syphon is Oto killer
Thanks for the comments, both on and off list, about the Oto getting
trapped and (possibly) killed by the syphon-break hole. Bob, the
calculations were impressive. I do realize that it's common for
neophytes to find dead fish stuck to filter intakes and to blame the
filter. I really don't think that was the case here. I have a big
Fluval 403 that exerts considerable suction on the hole, and the Oto was
a smallish one. I really think that he just tried to lite on the pipe
and got sucked onto the hole and couldn't escape. Anyway, as was
suggested, I have now covered the hole with some mesh. Thanks again to
all for your comments. -- Sherman
