put the powerhead in a 5gallon bucket with some tank water. thro some type of food in the bucket and the star will come out to get the food. easy one right there.

It is so small it likes to stay where the power cord goes into the pump. The power head was leaking elec. into my tank and I had to unplug it. That reminds me. I call their customer service and told them of the problem with 4 of my maxi jets (I bought all 4 at the same time about 1 1/2 years ago) They told me to just send them back to thier company and they would fix or replace them free. I told them I could not do that because I had to have them for my tank. They are sending 3 new ones in the mail and I'll send the bad ones back when I get the new ones. I had 1 extra for situations like this but didn't buy 3 extras. I have to use 1 of the leaky power heads for my return and place the new one in the DT. I sent 1 back to the last week. I check for stray voltage every once in a while. After discovering I had 36 volts in my tank I will check more often. I have a 12 yr old that takes care of my fish when I'm gone. I would LOVE to keep him around at least long enough to get a couple of grand children out of him...................
