(I hope)
Hi folks!
So I know alot, if not most, people do not like canister filters because they have a reputation for being nitrate factories. So, I got to thinking, why is a canister filter considered a nitrate factory, but a sump is not? Gunk build up inside the canister.
Why doesn't gunk build up inside a sump? Filter socks.
So, I built an inline filter sock compartment that filters out all of the gunk BEFORE it gets inside the canister! I just connected it and it runs great! I guess only time will tell if it helps mitigate nitrate build-up.
Just wanted to share!
