Ecosystem Filter

[musipilot]

Hi all....just setup an Ecosystem 60 hang on on my 54 gal corner tank. I've been anxious to try this method of filtration, to see if it can do what it claims. If anyone's interested, I'll post specs and so forth as the filter cycling process goes on. (takes about 6 weeks). Anyone had good/bad luck with these so far?

Okay...I threw up some photos for you...the tank specs are clean, I did this on purpose, to get a 'control' situation. Temp 78, SG 1.023, Amm, Nit, and Nitra 0, ph 8.2 calc 450ppm.
Heres what the thing looks like

I have had one up and running for about a month now. Too early to say if it lives up to the claims but so far so good.

Keep us updated
