Filter sock or no filter sock

[walkerbrody]

I have a 110 gal with 20 gal fuge, 10 gal sump, octo nw-200 skimmer, and 15 gal water change container.

I have alot of small particles in my tank. I belive the majority of them are caused from my sand sifting gobys. I was wondering if a filter sock on the return, well half of the split return that I can access would help with the particle issue. If so, how often should I clean them?

I use them, helps to keep the detritus out of your sump, for the most part. It also helps reduce micro-bubbles which is nice. I feel the water is more polished, btw I change mine out every 2-3 days, and rotate with one that was washed in the machine with a bit of bleach.

I use them too. I try to rotate weekly, but sometimes it's two weeks before I change them.

My water turned sparkling clean after I started using them. I usually change mine after they overflo to give all the little critters a chance to escape. just wash with a little bleach in the washer there usually good for 5 or six cycles then replace new.
