Dammit, Lost a Sea Cucumber


I've been investingating closed loop systems that puts the pump external from the tank and uses PVC pipes with tiny holes drilled in it so that it doesn't have a strong suction point like the power head does.

One of the two powerheads I was using for circulation in the tank managed to suck up a sea cucumber killing it and destroying the pump.

The cucumber is like 6 - 8 " long and only about 1" was sticking out of the pump. Felt like crap for killing it so terribly like that, sucked into a dark hole and probably torn up by the impeller. What a way to go
