I clean mine two or three at a time. Right now I only have two of the Hot Mags in service but I have another two that I use occasionally and one more that I have yet to use.

Please let us know what you think of them after you've had them in use for a while.
Always move forward. Never look back.

All set up and running. I do like that there are no air leaks. Not crazy about the suction cup attachment. May use it without them.

I can live with the cup arrangement.....it slides off easily, if need be....notice the nipple on the 'out' attachment ?.....you can add a short piece of air tubing and get a bubbler stream....

..it sure assembles easy, huh?..... |^|

It passed the first test a 20H with lefover food. Now I have it in a 40B which is my BN tank. Needless to say it is my messiest tank. I can diatom in the morning and by the evening there would be wood crap all over the place. It is hard to keep that tank clean. huh

Just got mine and put it together. I don't have a dirty tank to try it on right now. It looks like it would be handy for the occasional carbon filtering job too. I made my own reactor thingy for carbon but this looks easier.

Where is a good place to get diatom powder?
