Has anyone here used this filter or even seen it before? Sounds too good to be true.

In my experience water changes are what keeps your critters happy and healthy. Most of the time those filters just become traps for detritus and are a time bomb waiting to go off. I wouldn't trust anything that advertised eliminating water changes.
wouldn't waste my $ :shake:

I agree 100%.

I thought it was to good to be true. You can't believe everything you read.

Ditto

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I am tempted to think it does something right for that outrageous price, but I wouldn't trust it.

$500 to lower nitrates when a $20 sand bed could do the same? :confused:

Water changes aren't just for NO3. They replace depleted trace elements and remove other impurities.

Exactly. My 55g has zero nitrates with NO mechanical filtration.
