Filter sock delete

[reefandfish85]

Here is what I mean..

I have WaterBox MarineX 90.3 I do like having filter sock but thinking about temporary removing them and just let let it run. my question is is there anything out there yet that I can insert into the filter sock holes and muffle the noise/splashing ? I know I could use plastic cup and filter floss, but I'm trying to go without any of these. just have the water circulate.

I used to have it before on my old 55G tank but that was my custom made sump, and like I said I don't want to remove anything just in case I want to go back to filter socks..

Cut a few holes in the sock maybe? Or one of those plastic inserts for media

I have heard of 3d printed stuff for exactly this. Search for that, there’s a few vendors out there and I am having a brain fart as to the names maybe printed Reef?

Are you having a problem with raising nitrates? Not sure why you'd want to remove the filter socks unless you're planning to replace them with media cups and filter floss or a fleece roller.

It's generally not advisable as without any kind of filtration (skimmer isn't as effective) you can spike your nitrates. But hey, it's your tank...

Just extend you pipe underwater.

I took my socks out weeks ago as a test and my tank is doing fine with just a skimmer. Phos at .06 and Nitrates at 9.00 tested with hanna
