  1. i was reading in a book that for disease organisms that have a free-swimming stage, souch as gill and sikn flukes, marin velvet or white spot disease, the use of a diatom filter can prove to be helpful, especially in a reef aquarium. this is because at the free swimming stages the disease can be filtered out of the water. what dose everyone think of that i have a diatom filter so it should work shouldent it saves using harmfull chemicals
  2. the clown hasent got it dont no what was up with the damsel so what do i use to get the whit spot out will the diatom filter work iv got one of thows and no it gets rid if it in a fresh water tank
