A very inspiring tank to say the least! Thanks for a great narrative.
You mentioned that you clean and treat your filter socks, can you elaborate?
Sock's are cleaned every 5 to 7 day's ...I turn the socks inside out and throw them in the washing machine...Once they are in the washer I add about 1/4 cup of bleach ...I use the ultra white cycle on the washer...Once they are finished I remove them and throw the socks in a 5 gal bucket W/ Prime water conditioner.The socks will sit in the bucket for a few days..Then I remove the socks and let them air dry for a day or 2..Now they are ready to be reused..

Thx's

Mike
