I use GFO and carbon in mine all the time. Sometimes separate other times mixed. I also use either PURA or polyfilter as the top layer.

Only have a canister filter on my FOWLR not my reef.

I do not use a sock for 2 reasons - 1) nitrates 2) I don't want to filter food/fauna from the water.

I still use one when i am doing a "blow out" and a water change to catch the stuff i stir up.
