for those who are sockless

I dont like going sockless. I'm self conscious about my lack of a big toe on my right foot lol ;)
Seriously though most people who go sockless rely on their live rock, skimmer, refugium, or filter pads for filtration.
 
I don’t have socks or filter floss or pads. Partly because I’m really bad at changing them and my nitrates get too high, partly because I don’t see much need of I suck the stuff out that settles at the bottom of my sump
 
if your sockless do you use some other kind of mechanical filtration?
I ran sockless for along time with just my protein skimmer.
It did good but my sump would get dirty.

So, I went with the Red Sea 225 micron nylon mesh filter sock. It's been a winner and I just blast in clean with the kitchen sink sprayer or garden hose and put it right back in.

I'm getting about 6 months of lifespan with that nylon sock and the sump stays a lot cleaner.
