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

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.
