Which Diatom to go with ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah I liked the D1 but I want something I can run almost full time :)
 
I have never personally used one...but if it were me out of those 3 id get the XL simply because it does 400gph and its only 20 more than the others...the D1 does 150gph and I didnt see a spec on the freedom.


In looking at vortex's website they say the D1 does 250 gph....

depends on how much powder you put in too. I used to put more than recommended, just to get things really clear quickly.
No , no cloudy water issues or good excuses :irked: I just want one :D
 
I had a D1 and ran it 24/7 for a few months. It was great but clogs up very quickly. If I were to do this again, I would buy the XL and plumb it in after the canister filter. The motors on these filters are not the best. Mine died out after a while.

Wow... Thanks :) Appreciate the input bro really. Forgive my inexperience but what kind of canister would I plumb it in after ? The tank has a fluval 405 and a eheim 2215 currently as far as canisters.
