Is a proper canister filter really more work?

[QUOTE="ingchr1, post: 10639663, member: 108043"] Other than a skimmer, I haven't been running any mechanical filtration for some time. I initial ran the socks that came with the tank. Got tired of cleaning them, so switched over to floss. Thought that was wastfull, so switch over to Aquamesh medium (blue #3). Most everything passes through it. I rinse it with water changes once a month, but it's really not needed. One unexpected benefit is that it made the overflows a lot quieter. Being able to use DE is a nice benefit of that filter, just wish there was somewhere to buy DE. I don't need 50lbs of the stuff from a pool store. I have the SR Aquaristik DE, but as reported it's too fine. Took hours to charge the filter and then it clogs kinda quickly. [ATTACH type="full"]2846951[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
