Yeah, we all know what advertising is about! (I have a marketing degree and an MBA but I can't help picking on it here)

I know, I also took marketing in college. It would be a good experiment if someone has a filter to run it in a 5 gallon bucket and test just to see what it's capable of though. It would tell you what elements it stripped out of the water so you know what to replace them with.

How about it Randy, are there many chemicals found in our water supply that are large enough to be removed by an diatom filter?

 

[Paul B]

I am not a chemist like Randy, but I can tell you a diatom filter is a mechanical device capable of only removing particles. No chemicals will be removed. I have run the thing on my tank for weeks at a time. It is a fantastic (filter) but nothing more. It will remove red tide, parasites, some bacteria and bats. But nothing else.

How was the cheese sandwich? I'd love one but gluten free bread just doesn't make a great sandwich.

Hey why didn't we get a sandwich

 

[Humblefish]

I have been telling people about diatom filters for decades. But no one was listening so instead of arguing, I just went and made myself a grilled cheese sandwich

Maybe you were trying to tell people on the wrong forum, my friend. ;)

Like I posted before and humblefish can verify this is the only true site that there is no b.s. and that no one slams you for your opinion.
Also there are more people that are willing to help if you don't know what to do (like me lol)

My wife eats gluten free and the bread is pretty bad. I like the flour though as it makes good muffins and pancakes.
I have been around way before forums and even computers so people trying to argue with me don't perturb me at all. I just look them in the eye and hit "delete".

Well said

Paul an old saying is
