Well, the little hose clamp on my Ramora pro let go a few minutes ago, and the mag3 fell off the hose. The problem is, directly below the pump is my one pile of live rock. The pump landed on the rock and shot a pile of water into the air, straight out of the top of the tank. My wife used her race car driver reflexes and ran over and pulled the power on the bar. It looks like she broke her toe in the process. Anyways, I don't trust these little black plastic clamps too much. Can I use regular gear clamps? I read somewhere any metal in the tank is a big no-no. Is there anything else. I may move the skimmer to the centre of the tank, so if it happens again the pump will simply fall to the bottom of the tank instead of flooding the house. But that pump is soooooo huge and unsightly. I may end up buying the pre-skimmer box to hide it.
