There are also several chemical treatments with marginal effectiveness. If you can afford it, a diatom is a great way to "restart" a tank with GW problems.
godzilla,
Make sure you post a pic when you get back.

All you need is the micron filter, a box of diatonaceous earth, and a turkey baster. From what I've heard around here it seems a lot more durable than the vortex. I've heard of too many folks buying the vortex and dropping and breaking it after 1-2 uses.

Actually I would never trade my Vortex for anything else.
