RE: [APD] EHEIM diatom Filter -- Freyed Ends

["william ruyle" <inquartata at comcast_net>]

Sharon,
I really don't know where all this animosity is coming from, but
a number of us find Scott's comments worthwhile, or, at the very
least, well-intentioned, whereas your comments, are not. Perhaps
you can settle your grievances face-to-face with him at the
convention?

Bill



Scott,

You didn't address my core concern.  Do you have keep cultivate aquatic
plants?

If you have in the past,  that and your knowledge is important.  If you
haven't?  Well then shut up?

For the record because I did the research.  Diatom filter refers not to
diatomaceous earth but to the filters particle would be filtered size.

Something I said apparently angerd or insulted Saron Frey,
although I am not clear what it was.  I had no intention of
doing so.  IN any event there are a few mistakes inthe
post.

As commonly used, "Diatom Filter" means a filter designed
specifically for the use of diatomaceous media, which
consisist of the skeletal remains of diatoms. It doesn't
simply mean "fine" or "silt" but refers to a specific kind
of material.  It's not clear if you were taking issue with
that or not.

I said why I didn't thnk diatom powder would work in an
ordianry Eheim filter and suggested some alternatives.  The
lambast was?

Couldn't agree more.

I don't just make stuff up.

Actually, it doesn't.  Consder the term "Diatom." It's a
particular kind of fine media.  Most often it is a calcined
diatomaceous material.

I have three diatom filters and have used them all for
several years, two models of Vortex and a System One. I
have also used Eheims, among others, for over 30 something
years.

Me too, that's why I like the APD.

Nothing I say prevents anyone from saying anything else.
