I believe the are like my earth filter for my pool.

my uncle has one. uses it only when his fish are sick. its great for a hospital tank. but if u run it constantly ur fish lose immunity and if it gets sick it WILL die

Diatom filters are one of the only pure form of mechanical filtration. They can remove anything in the water as small as one micron. Some parisites are larger then 1 micron so it will remove them too. If you have to constantly use one of theese to polish your water, there is probably an underlying problem

I don't need it. I was just curious. I was shopping around and seen them.
Thanks guys.
