Well just wanted to get input on what is everyone using with filter socks. I have a 75g sump. My sump has three 4" filter socks. Its a pain to replace and clean them every three days. If I wait till the fourth day, it is overflowing in the fuge, hence not filtering. I looked at the option of replacing with some sort of basket but ... what did you all do? Did you go with a basket or left it completely out? With baskets, I can put filter floss in there and change out when needed. But is it necessary? Are the socks stripping nutrients that is much needed for the balance of life for corals and etc?
Is this the norm to go thru cleaning 6 to 9 socks a week?
