Done With Filter Socks! Much Easier Way!

I have a 90g sump right now.....with floss. Sits on egg crate - floss - then another piece of egg crate, to help spread the water.

I have pre-cut sheets of floss. Then - when I change it (cause it starts to smell), let the water drain out - toss the soaked, crud filled floss in the trash and restart. Do this a few times a week.

Also floss = no flexibility for microns. Water clarity is a huge thing. Doesn't polish my water...at all.

So why socks? Mesh (if you use fleece...I do feel bad for you) are the way to go. I can get finer microns - depending on my needs.

I can pop a mesh sock out - flip inside out and use the sprayer on my kitchen sink, clean - flip back and it's back in tank. Entire process.....takes 30 secs? I'm working on getting a sock holder constructed.

Fraction of the time it takes me to deal with floss. Lol

This is main reef tank - so, I can't get a fleece roller on it. But if I could....I'd go that route above all else.
I’m amazed how quickly you can clean the filter socks! I had to soak the Red Sea filter socks in bleach for a few days before washing them in more bleach. Then had to let them sun dry to ensure no bleach residue. Too much work!
 
I am looking for a filter cup or two. Innovative Marine 40l Aio
