Vortex XL Diatom Filter - A Must to Own

This is an excellent product to own for anyone who owns a fishtank - fresh or salt water. It cleans and polishes the water and even filters out Ick. Cleaning and re-charging this filter is easy. The only frustrating task is attaching the pump to the jar so it doesn't leak. The o-ring doesn't always seal properly. I solved this problem with some extra sealing material (a cheap and easy solution that Vortex should have thought of including in their product design).

Miracle Machine

This filter works great. I had an incredibly green tank. Couldn't see the fish or the plants. Had tried everything except chemicals. Nothing helped. The Vortex filter is worth every penny. Within a couple of hours I had a crystal clear tank. Set up is not difficult. Just follow step by step instructions. I recommend this filter to anyone having green water problems.

We Love the Diatom XL

We have 2 of them, one for freshwater and one for salt, not that we could't use the same but easier. The tank we use it the most on is our 125 gallon saltwater, it is wonderful!!! We leave it run for several days at a time without disturbing the noraml bacteria in the water, will help with ich too. It is quiet, very quiet, all you hear is the vibration. It really leaves the water sparkling. Not too ease to recharge but once it's going it sure is worth the trouble. Love it, highly recommend!!!!
