PSA for anyone who doesn't already know. The plastic bio balls from bulk reef supply have the same OD as the ID of the Nyos quantum 220's suction, and if the sun and the moon align just right it will get sucked in and lock down your needle wheel if your venturi has popped out. That is all

You gotta get some suction screens. Snails and tubes from calcifying critters in your sump get in there too... I hate them so much.
