Filter sock alternatives?

[Tyler N]

Hey all, I have an IM 50gal AIO Lagoon right now, with a filter sock on one side of the rear filtration and a bio caddy on the other. I'm looking for replacements for the filter socks, as I have heard there are much more effective options and changing the socks every 3 days is a pain. What would you all suggest as an alternative that will fit in that rear filtration slot the IM tanks have?

Thanks in advance!

I have the IM AIO 80 and I use the throw away socks. I put them on both sides and my back chamber is awlays clean. Not the cheapest, but easiest for me.

Which ones do you use? I didn't see any diaper socks that fit my chamber

Other than a fleece roller or ditching fines filtration altogether, you are still going to have to clean or exchange your new method at least twice a week to get any benefit out of it.

I don't mind exchanging, that's why I was looking to hopefully get disposables that will work for that chamber. My larger tank I'm getting will have a sump and I'll use a fleece roller, but that doesn't seem to be an option for this one

Got it. If I understand the back chamber (pictures online aren't great), it looks easy enough to make a table out of eggcrate for a sheet of floss or foam.
