WTB Filter Sock - Making a Flatworm Vacumm
Where can I get a filter sock that will attached to a 1.5" pipe? My plan is to create a vacuum by attaching a small length of rigid pipe with the end flattened to increase the inlet velocity to a longer piece of flex pipe that will connect to my overflow pipe to divert all overflow water through the vacuum. Next I will attached a filter sock to the other end of the 1.5" overflow pipe in the sump located in the basement to trap all the flat worms as I attemp to vacuum these guys off my LR and sand. Lastly the filter sock will be disposed.

If you give them a few minutes after you suck them up they usually will attach to the sides of the bucket.
Then you can just dump the water back in the tank and they'll stick to the side of the bucket.

I was thinking of keeping the system running - becasue the overflow will be bypassed and diverted through the vacuum, the filter sock will catch the worms while allowing the water to circulate through the system, this way I can take as long as I need to do a good job. My first attemp was vacuuming the sand and rocks using a syphon - but I ended up syphoning too much water out of the system and it didnt allow me enough time to do a thorough job. All my water chage water is created with RO water ahead of time, therefore I have to be carefull not to export too much water a any give time.
