Skimmer Waste Into Filter Sock?

[ahbeaud]

This is my first post, so bear with me.
I've had a nano 20g since Christmas. Just bought a (used) 75g upgrade with a (new) 30g sump and we're trying to figure everything out before we move everything over. With the 75g tank came an SCA301 skimmer that we'd like to take advantage of.

As we're setting up the sump, hubby thinks we can drain the skimmate back into the filter sock rather than into a separate container or stopping the drain tube completely.

I can't find anything online giving an answer/suggestion one way or the other, so I'm asking here.

I have the skimmer running on my nano right now, so I don't have a picture of the setup the way it would be.
TIA for your help!

You can not drain the skimmate into the filter sock. Much of the skimmate will go right through and pollute the tank. It is best to empty the skimmate into a cup or something and then down the drain.

Yeah unfortunately draining into a sock is not much different than not running a skimmer at all.

A filter sock removes minimal if any dissolved organic compounds/matter... Which I believe are classified by being able to pass through a 0.45 μm filter (although I could be very wrong).. most filter socks are in the 200 micron range.
