diatom filters
My question is: Do diatom filters really filter out things like ich from your tank?
Does anyone on the forum have one and if so, what's your take on it?

Diatom Filters are basically 1 micron filters, so yes they will filter out ich but it will filter out everything else aswell like trace elements and what not!!

Does anyone carry them in Vancouver, one that could handle my 210 gal tank and 30 gal sump?

Big Al's in Richmond may carry them. Or I would highly recommend MOPS - their service is excellent!

I thought trace elements were dissolved in the water and were in their ionic form (one atom big... less than a micron)? Id understand if it removed precipitates (solids) but that's a whole other story isn't it?
