3D printed men guard for MagTool MT-1600

[d6s]

Does anyone make, or know anyone who can make, a 3D printed nem guard for the MagTool MT-1600 gyre pump?

My first anemone is coming this weekend and I have a small media mag zip tied on each side but it looks bad and cuts so much flow.

Thanks!

Not a big name pump so you may have trouble finding someone printing them. Maybe wrap it in some 1/4" nylon mesh like they use for the acrylic lids. You could probably secure it with zip ties. I've heard of people using sponge as gaurds on non gyre type pumps but sponge gets clogged to fast for my liking.

I just ordered a MagTool MT-1600 gyre pump also. Did you ever find a guard or another solution? I'm leaning towards the nylon mesh....

I ran across this post a couple of weeks ago because I have an MT-1600. Actually 2 so I can rotate them out when cleaning, etc.

I know it's an old post, but I just created a custom anemone guard for this guy that's super easy and cheap, and doesn't impact flow. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll post what I did. It only costs a few doll hairs and about 30 minutes of time.
