Yeah .... that! (Though, in my case, I’m allergic to tedious maintenance tasks .... of which cleaning socks is one ... plus they’re entirely unnecessary).

what are the plastic funnels from great ideal love to try
The only "filtration" I run is chaeto & skimmers in both of my tanks. No socks, no filter floss, etc...
I would love to see more pictures of this setup!!I went down another path, as I wanted a solution that I didn't have to monitor all the time and won't cause problems down the road in regards to overflow. I loved filter socks for 10+ yrs but I had to wash them once a week, so when rebooting my tank I tried to think of a solution that would fit my setup. It was a settling tank as I have a basement fish room now, I have a 30-gallon brute trash can that collects all of the drain pipes. This does two things for me slows the water before entering the sump and allows the detritus to collect in one place. So when I perform waterchanges I drain this tank which counts for 25 of the 65gallon of water that I have to change
What pads are you using that are reusable?Filter tray. 1. When I take the pad out I can flick off the amphipods back into my fuge.
2. I can spray wash the pads and reuse.
3. I can put in a new pad every day. I have 9 total and when I have one left in the tray, I clean the others.
Ooh ... a manual roller. That's a cool idea.7" 200 micron filter sock on my 120 and 45 frag.
I will never use 4" again.
Looking for 300 micron.
Mesh sock plug up quicker than standard in my systems.
In the process of building a manual filter roller.
Can you put a picture up of your combination in a cup?I use a filter cup, I put matrix in the bottom then carbon and filter floss on the top the cups are so deep I was wasting a lot of floss but the matrix adds some bio media and I run the carbon inline instead of a reactor. I rinse the matrix in water change water every month or so change the carbon every two weeks and floss every three days or so. I hate cleaning socks and will never go back.
