Which do you prefer? 100 or 200 micron? And does anyone know where I could buy them in bulk?

I used 200 for a long time but recently switched to 100s. I was afraid of the 100s clogging up too quick but I have not had any issues. I change them out once a week when I do a water change. Have you thought about making them yourself? I know there are multiple DIY filter sock threads with materials purchase from fabric stores.

I bought an 8 pack of the 200 micron from Amazon for $40.

Bubble coral sting good
I run 1 micron socks when I am doing a 'deep clean' weekend. I'll siphon any detritus through it that I can manually, then stir everything in the display up, and use one on the drain for the rest of the weekend. Then I put it all away and don't use a sock after that until the next deep clean.

So 100 micron is much tighter than 200 right.

Correct, the less the micron # the tighter the mesh or felt
