Green water/diatom filters Can't Post

I am thinking of using a Vortex Diatom filter to clear my algae plagued aquarium. My aquarium is quite big 2' x 2' x 6' and placed outside and although I provide shading my tank will become green in 2 days. What do you think of using vortex Diatom filter and appreciate contact tel of dealers in Malaysia or Singapore? Thanks.

The Vortex Diatom filter will clear your aquarium of algae in short order.

You should get the XL model and you need to change the diatomaceus earth every time you use it. If you don't the anaerobic bacteria will breed in the filter.
You can get the earth inexpensively from swimming pool supply houses, but make sure it contains no additives.

Unfortunately I live in Florida USA, but I'm sure you should be able toget the filter in any pet store.

Hi Werner,

Thanks for your advice. Still trying to source for a 'Vortex dealer over here.
