I've got some fry in a Aqua one AR380 and unfortunatly some got sucked up the filter intake so I decided to place a stocking over it. Now it's just dribbling out of the filter instead of flowing (obviously because of the restriction). My question is, will this be bad for the pump?? Surly not a good thing but anything to worry about??

Not sure if it is bad for the pump, but do you think your tank is getting sufficient flow? I have had the AR380 for years and after the original sponge cover that came with it wore out tried a stocking too... and had the same problem, so I cut the fabric from a small fish net and tied that on instead. Worked pretty good. But finally hunted more sponge covers from different petshops.

Good luck with your fry

Hey. I ditched the stocking for some filter wool, and now all is well! Fry are coming along good to. Good idea with the fish net too!
