Just curious on how everyone feels about periodically taking out the filter socks and just letting the refugium absorb what the socks would usually take out.. I'm thinking of running my 220 without the socks 2 times a week (24 hour) each...

I hate cleaning filter socks!!!!
A few years ago had a tank that needed the filter socks so I can have nitrates. That was the only time I enjoy the filter sock because I didn't clean it.
After that tank I stopped using it... :-)

Not been running any filter socks or pre filtration since I set my new tank up a year ago.
 
I run them, it does help keep the sump cleaner. I would say it all depends on your system. If your system can run well without any nutrient issues i'd ditch them, less work.
