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

[exnisstech]

possibly - but the hole is a bit undersized to a standard 4in filter sock - this is because the make filter cage of the NOSOK is also undersized to be compatible with Red Sea tanks.

I have red sea 4" socks. That's why I now have an eshopps tank
I'll check the site out this weekend. No printer so I'll need two 4" no socks and two eshopps adapters if you offer any discount on multiple items

They come as a set of two and will convert the 7in rectangular sock holder of the Eshopps Mariner to a 4in NOSOK.

If you have a 3D printer or know someone that does, we have made the file available for downalod - also available from the link above.

Ordered 2 nosoks and the set of eshopps adapters. Looking forward to trying them out. These felt socks suck.

Awesome!

I think you order just shipped - we had only one order, since the weekend, that included the Eshopps adapter plates, so that must have been yours :-)

@azreef729 So far so good on the nosoks. I Installed them Friday and they were plugged today just using the mesh. That's a positive for me because it means they're trapping stuff. The Eshopps socks never did clog they just got nasty looking.

Feel free to use the photo. I think these are going to work out nicely. TBH I'm a bit surprised and pleased to see them clog in two days. If I feel the need to not filter so heavily I'll just run a single one.
Once my 7 inch socks need to be replaced in my 330 I'm going to consider a couple of 7" nosoks.

Awesome, I will probably give them a try then. Everything I’ve got from @Vivid Creative Aquatics is top notch and they’re local.

2 days and change needed again so right on schedule. I bought this floss that someone here recommended (apologies but I can't remember who it was) I think I cut it 5x9" and it fits perfectly. I'm interested to sée if it plugs sooner or maybe extend the interval by having a pre filter. Most likely I'll even play around with floss and no screen just for giggles. I think these sheets of floss are compact enough they'll stay put and I think may even be able to be rinsed and reused but we'll see.

That looks good and looks super easy to deal with. We have a lot of customers that like this sort of fleece for the NOSOK, and it works well for most.

Personally, for me i prefer to have the ability to customize it a bit. I like a less dense material like the SERA brand Filter Wool

its a looser material and if you unpack the bag carefully, its a long sheet that can be easily cut to size, then the cut piece can be split to make it thinner or wrap it, as is, for a thicker more dense wrap.

That's actually one of the primary benefits to the NOSOK. Its not a "one filtration level fits all", sort of soliton. it can be easily setup to fit your specific needs.
