Floss holder or mesh socks for eshopps 7" rectangular holder?

[exnisstech]

Set up my MP100 and my reefmat 500 doesn't fit and and cleaning felt socks is not really what I want to do. So I'm looking for a media cup that I can run floss in or if anyone knows of mesh sock that for that would also be great. I don't mind washing mesh socks. I did some searching but didn't come up with anything.

I am not a big floss guy. I know people love it, but I hate it. I think it mostly doesn't do much and ends up making a mess.

Unless I'm confusing it with something else it seems Eshops makes a 200 micron filter sock for it:

Eshopps - Filter Sock Rectangle

Rectangular filter socks are space saving compared to conventional round filter socks. 200 micron holes trap fine particles for clear water. Suitable for use only with Eshopps Rectangular Micron Bag Holders, or as replacement in applicable eshopps filter systems.

Ya I don't love floss but i dislike cleaning felt socks even more. Mesh sock i can clean with my hose sprayer at my utility tub.

Try 2-4" 400 micron mesh socks.
They will most likely overlap but should work. I use 400's in the first hole on my ext's and the other 2 are open.
1-4" may work depending on how the flow enters the area. Its only needed to catch the big stuff.

I think this would possibly work.
Take 2 of the 4" and squeese it to 4.5×3.5, like this. Try it with 2 old 4" rings.

I use these when I clean my tank, I vacuum the sand and put the sock in the sump so I dont lose water.

This is what I'm working with. The rectangle is the problem. I think I'm just going to make new holder put of hdpe to hold two 4" socks and be done.

I love diapers and ran them in my reefer 170. I still have the holders and may go back to them if I make the holder I mentioned above.

 

[MichaelReefer]

Oh I see, yeah I feel like a holder would be easier.

Similar nonsense with my waterbox with two 7" socks that only WB makes.

I did find filter cups and tried floss, but hated it. So I have 6 sets of felt 100 micro socks, and they go in the washing machine with an extra rinse. Basically about 2 weeks worth.

I'm running premium aquatics house brand 7" mesh socks in my 330.7 . I think they're 200 micron. They work great and cleaning with a garden hose is easy peasy.

PS when I ran 4" felt I just had a bunch and like you washed them in the machine. At $15 each for these I don't feel like buying a bunch and storing them so they don't stink.

Maybe consider a NOSOK™.

We have a 7in model

You can wrap the core with filter floss, filter sponge or any other media or filter sheets you like and get sock-like performance that you can customize as you need it.

the best part - you'll never have to wash any filter socks

the NOSOK also comes with a 255-micron nylon screen insert that is super easy to clean. You can run the NOSOK with just eh screen if you lie - works well that way too.

We just posted a thread on it here:

OOPS - I missed the parts her you had an ESHOSP tank with the rectangular socks. In that case two 4in NOSOKS would be the way to go - we'll have an adapter plate ready to go for these tank by the end of the week.
