Yeah, infamous, it's a royal pain to prime.  But if you ever get a good dose of green water you gotta try the Vortex.
The stuff turns grass green and when you clean it out the green gets everywhere ;)

Don't use it anymore myself as I spliced in a UV filter into my canister system plumbing.  Now if I ever get a bloom I just turn that on for three days.
Not that I get blooms much anymore since getting the UV...figures.
