So, I watched a Reef to Reef video made by ED Wiser back in 2017. He demonstrated the Magnum polishing internal canister filter and it was impressive. He charged it with diatomaceous powder. I thought that's what I want...because Dinoflagellates! He also noted that the rubber gasket was extremely important in the effectiveness of this filter. So, I ordered it last Friday. From Chewey. I got it last night and started going thru the contents. The rubber gasket Ed talked about was not there, instead it was this crappy sponge thing that didn't fit at all. Apparently, Marineland does not eat it's own dog food. Canister was run all night long with 6 tablespoons of the DE. Only about 10 percent made it into the filter. Don't buy this.
But in addition to my story, I ordered this thing from Chewey. Now Chewey probably doesn't even know what a reef is. However, I have ordered salt from them and it was on my doorstep the next day. They are MAD fast. And I know that other professional places use them because I've seen empty Chewey boxes behind coral grow-out farms here in Tampa.
Anyway, I was really angry about this and I emailed Chewey this morning and told them that I was returning the filter. 10 minutes later I see a refund into my bank account from Chewey for the amount I paid for the filter! Then an email telling me to keep it.
Unbelievable service. Just sayin.
