Mechanical filtration??

[Myka]

I'm curious...

What do you guys prefer? Why?

Multiple choice if you like the combo effect!

1) Filter sock
2) Filter pad
3) No mechanical filtration
4) Something else

My preference is filter pads. I hate washing socks - pads are easier to wash.

I like filter floss from Walmart rip a pillow and use the floss a one time deal every water change I do,stir up the dead spots in the frag system and the sumps and sometimes the main tank.When done drain the water and new water goes in then the floss is tossed away.

Filter Floss - changed out weekly

filter pad washed every 3-4 days

3 filter socks in a holder and swapped weekly (3 spares that dry for a week)
I don't mind washing them and find they work better for me than pads, at least in my setup
