Why Tony - I have a whole thread on the matter! In your defense, it seems to be a 50/50 split as to whose works and whose doesn't.

I have about 2 litres of media for close to 200g of system volume with about a 8 - 10 litre per hour of output. A few times mine has clogged as the aragonite dissolves and I have to open up the valve to "flush" the effluent, and I end up with the wonderful rotten egg smell, but other than that it has been pretty much set and forget except for the initial cycling which I wrote about in my thread. One water change of about 10% per month and still zero nitrates - I was pulling my hair out and going through a hundred bucks a month in salt before this little beauty.

In retrospect, considering the time I have been limited to with my system in the past few months, it would be just a green wavy sea of algae by now without this wonderful little gadget!
