Hey fellow reefers, I saw there wasn't a whole lot of information/products on protecting your anemones from gyres so I figured Id share my solution (hopefully, we will see) to this problem.
For the RedSea Reefwave, and im sure this works for all other gyre wavemakers, I just went to my local crafts store and picked up a sheet of "7-mesh", cut it out to fit over the pump and used zip ties to hold it down secure. It seems to cover it pretty well and I think the anemone would survive the worst of it, if it decided to wonder into it. The only problem I think I will face with this is it getting gunked up from time to time, but its easy to remove, clean or replace if need be. Oh and I had to turn the flow up from 70% to 100% to combat the blockage caused by the 7mesh. I will post on here again with updates to let yall know how it goes.

Not to bring up an old thread, but wouldn't the ones that come with it work about the same? I have seen some 3d printed ones, but can't find the files.
