well.. I have to ask.. did the powerhead kill the clownfish?? or did the clownfish's body get sucked up by the powerhead? the few fish I have ever seen die... I knew they were gonna die when I went to bed.. and had an expected suprise waiting on my intake when I woke up... I think that a healthy fish can swim against a powerhead intake.. but your situation maybe different... Im just wondering if you saw any previous signs.. sorry to hear of your loss..

but if it hit the blades of the P~head.. then just say what kind of PH it is.. I have the prefilter accessories for about 5 different PH's.. and if I dont have it someone else does.. life is like junkyard wars.. you may spend 10hrs. building a piece of crap out of a pile of $#it... but they will still give you 1 more hour to make it safe..

I lost a small puffer this way. the gaurd got knocked off the ph and the impeller sucked him up. I found him after work puffing and unpuffing to get away, but it ws too strong. I freed him the instant I heard it and well.....he died a few days later in qt. I know have sponge filters on all my ph. $5 each is well worth it. I learned the hard way.
