Okay it's been a month. I'm very happy how this filter works. Water is extremely clear and best of all no sock to wash. I back wash it once a week with the water from my WC. Because the pump is 3000gph it goes very fast. The two 5 gal bucket show what came out in the first few seconds. More dark stuff came out after but the buckets were already full. The media is glass and doesn't create a big back pressure while trapping particulates.
About 1/4 tank to bashwash the filter.

Damn ken I wish u could come down to los angeles sometime to help me with my filtration...I would pay some good money to have some great filtration for my bass...
This filter is now available for purchase through wlimproducts. It is not listed in their catalog because it is so new.
This filter takes very little water to completely backwash. Because it's a closed system it takes about 2 minutes to flush out and the pump does not have to be stopped during the WC/filter cleaning. Takes longer to fill the tank back with clean water. This is a mechanical/bio filter and traps very fine particle not like the Ultima. Also cost way less.
