Best filter floss recommendation?

[jayteerq]

Hi everyone. I have an AIO system so can’t really get a filter roller. Can but not an option for now. I have 4 filter cups and want to run floss instead of socks. I purchased polyfill because I’ve heard of many people using it. But mines clogs up within days no matter how little I use. Does anyone have any good recommendations for filter floss that will ensure crystal clear water? And that lasts a decent time? Atleast a few days? And is easily accessible? Preferably Amazon? Thanks in advance for any recommendations!!!

I also use filter floss instead of socks. I precut it to size and change it every 4-5 days. I buy the Seapora bag and it lasts a few months.

If it clogs daily, then, you will have to change it daily. Using less won't help as you will filter out less when you use less.

Awesome! Thanks! Do you fill your cups up completely? Or half way? Or lightly packed?

I always liked the pads vs loose floss

I think I agree with you here

Maybe you are using too much filter floss if its clogging? I bough this floss a few years ago, it will probably last me the rest of my life

I just use the pads above the sock filter holes and don’t use anything in the holes. It’s a very easy switch out weekly.

There is some pink stuff I use, I cut little triangles and fill loosely to the top of the cup, water will pull it down the cup. I'll find a link to the pink stuff if u would like...

I don’t fill the cups at all. I have a glass panel that runs across the width of the sump, where the socks are inserted and I just cover the whole thing.

I used to put floss in media cups but it’s a pita.

We don’t have as much choice in Canada (on Amazon). I have never seen it that cheap. Maybe I missed it.
