That is not true for moderate cases of ich.If it’s ich just let it be. Fish handle and overcome ich very well. You’re more likely to kill it pulling it from the display tank, putting it into a quarantine tank, and stressing the heck out of it with meds then just letting it be. If it’s eating, feed more and it will be clear in a week.
I tend to ignore Amazon reviews as often user error caused the bad review. Good part of Amazon being try it and return it if not satisfied. Will say this. Being smaller it does clog quickly. I have both models. Haven’t used the DE option but have used the micron filter option alone and the smaller one needs cleaning more often. Best used that by having a few extra cartridges. Easy enough to change out. Just don’t think that alone will remove ich but will clarify the water.Im seeing some issues with the motor not being strong enough for diatomaceous earth
You’ve convinced me. Just got one from PetcoI tend to ignore Amazon reviews as often user error caused the bad review. Good part of Amazon being try it and return it if not satisfied. Will say this.

The bigger model isn’t that much larger placed horizontally and the flow can be diverted so it doesn’t cause surface agitation to the point it throws water over the side. The flow is very impressive on the original model
That is not true for moderate cases of ich.
Minor ich infections can be dealt with in some cases by using “ich management”, of which a good diet is one component.
Once the number of trophonts increases to about 30 or so on the fish, the disease goes into geometric progression and you need to treat the fish with either coppersafe or hyposalinity in order to save it.
