Anyone have this surface skimmer? I find it's extremely effective but have been scratching my head as to how to prevent small fish from getting sucked in and getting stuck on the foam block. They don't get chopped up by an impeller but I recently lost an adult pygmy cory and a juvie because the foam block isn't submerged and they were just floundering there for a few hours. I find shrimp in there routinely too, but they seem to do ok in the semi-submerged state for a day. I've removed the skimmer for the time being.
I tried putting a circular SS mesh in the center hole to prevent fish from falling in, but surface tension from the water seems to greatly reduce the effectiveness of the skimmer.
Anyone run into the same problems/have a solution?
