    Glad to hear it. Does it look like it would be easy to clean?

    Easier than a Koralia by the looks of it. The only thing bugging me is I put one of the foam guards on it to keep my Anemone from getting sucked in but when I feed its going to get loads of food on it. Dont know if I should put a little more time into my daily routine to take it off and rinse it while my fish eat or just let it build up for a week and then rinse.

    Is there a food button or any reason why you can't turn it off when you feed?

    Good point. Now that I think about it I dont know how you turn it off other than unplugging it. If you unplug it it looses the saved night time timer. Back to the manual there has to be a button combo.

    There is a food mode but its still pulling a ton of water through and will suck up food like crazy.

    Ok feed mode spins slower than I thought. K+ matt.

    Also read in the manual about the noise issue I was complaining about. these pumps have to be broke in for a week before they run as quiet as they should.
