Filter socks Pro’s and Con’s
I am starting a DIY sump. Been thinking about whether to put a filter sock in or not. I have mixed feelings about them.
Here are a few of my thoughts.
- (Con) They are a source of constant maintenance, which seems to get neglected. And then they just overflow.
- (Pro) they do filter out larger matter as in extra food and such.
- (Con) every time you clean a sock you are killing off bacteria, washing it down the drain. Which if I understand correctly is the filter we want in our sump and live rock.
Anyways . just curious what others think about them
