Is anyone out there using a Diatom (like a Vortex D-1) filter in a planted
tank??? Is it safe to keep a filter like this in place continuously?

I keep having a recurring problem with "green/cloudy" water.. My UV
sterilizer isn't fixing it, and the only thing that works is a few hours
with a rented Vortex Diatom D-1 with Super-Char...

I wouldn't mind purchasing one, but want to know what others thought about
continual use in a planted tank..

Thanks,
Troy

now that is pea soup. Amazing what a job they do.

Which media did you use? I tried the "straight" white power and ran the
Vortex D1 for 24 hours with no change in my pea soup mix.. The next day I
cleaned the filter and recharged with Super-Char and the tank was gorgeous
within 3 hours. Truly, amazing!

So you think leaving a Vortex D1 run 24x7 is no problem? Especially in a
generally "clean" tank?

Thanks,
Troy
