Thanks for the reply Anton I will try one cup next time and if you find anything else let me know.I am not sure if I am having a problem with the bag because it is new.But I would like to fiqure this thing out.The first time I use it I made a mess.All the powder shot into my tank.I guess it will take some time.Could you give me an idea on how long iyt should slean a 55 gal tank after being charged?Thanks in advance.

My diatom takes about an hour to clear my 55 gallon, after that there its pretty much clear. Using the filter is real tough if you go with the published method. Try the one here, its much easier and less messy.

Vortex company should pay you for those instructions.
Mine came with basic instructions, the method you show on your site was called "alternate method" for using the Vortex..

Thats not my website, but its one of the most helpful ones i have found online. Vortex is a little lame with their documentation.
