Can’t believe it. Not one reply...
Cabinet man, I am so pleased that you love yours as much as I love mine! I know it is an incredible filter but it is so nice to hear that someone else also thinks so. After about 10 years now of running a full time DE filter (knock on wood) I have never had any outbreak of any disease, fungal, bacterial, parasite or other. I have also found that I have almost no algea issues even though I usually run about 18 hours of light in my dirt bottom planted tank. I have pretty much forgot how great the filter is, I just have perfectly clear water ALL THE TIME!!!! It isn't until I see someone elses tank that I remember how much I love my EC40! LOL!
I honestly can't imagine running an aquarium without a full time DE filter.
I am still happy to answer anyone's questions to the best of my ability... just please quote me or reference my handle in your reply so I get an alert that I am being referenced.
