How do you clean your filter socks? I've washed mine in the laundry machine once and it didn't damage it but I also couldn't flip it inside out, which I would do on the bigger ones, and idk how good it is for the plastic.

I actually run them under the bathtub faucet. I like to live dangerously! I rinse them in rodi after though. Works well. I hate not being able to turn them inside out. I don't use scolding hot water though, it will melt the adhesive at the top.

I've got two of them. I swap them every three days.

Forgot to mention the morning before I change them I hit the rocks good with a turkey baster and switch the mp10 to nutrient export mode. This way my filter feeders get fed heavily every three days.
