So after seeing jcardona1's thread about his diatom filter I decided I wanted to pick one up for my 210g. He said to get the Vortex XL so thats what I went with. Got it on sale for $89.99 :D

Setting it up took about 15-20 minutes (read the instructions)

Its been running now for about 3 hours....

Before..

Here it is about 2.5 hours later (lots of little air bubbles)

Pictures don't do it justice, its Soooooo clear!!! :D

I'm going to let it run all night :)

Yea I'm keeping an eye on it. Its so clear now. Really makes the colors of the fish stand out! :)
 
Thats crazy! I just ordered one too for the same price because of Jose's review on them! Should do a great job on my 90 and 55 and others stoked :) You try the carbon for it yet ?
