When I worked at an LFS we had a diatom filter and that thing was AWESOME! It would clear a cloudy tank it minutes. It takes a little practice to not shoot diatomaceous earth all over your tank, probably REALLY bad for coral, but once you get the hang of it it rocks for a quick polish.
The Trick to NOT spewing earth all over your tank is start the pump in a full bucket first then after 30 secs hump the hoses quickly into the tank, opposite ends of course.
