I agree with KONG, my H&S has no strainer, I pull out pods, and I actually pulled out half of my dead cleaner shrip (His head and upper body), it is direclty fed by my overflow and my overflow has over 1/8 inch slots in it so whatever makes is through them is fair game to the skimmer. I also pull out uneaten flakes all the time as well, way before they breakdown into the water..
