are you Running tank with out filter sock

I used to but am to lazy to clean them so I ended up switching to filter floss and just change it out weekly. I just cut to the tray size and let it do its thing.

I use them as I find my skimmer doesn't work as hard and waters cleaner. I change mine daily

No place for a sock on my sump.. might just hook up an aquaclear on it one day.

I find filter socks to be one of the most effective versions of mechanical filtration you can use on a reef tank. Setup correctly they can be changed out in under a minute, and with a few extras on hand you can cycle them and remove waste from your tank unlike any other filter. It just sucks opening most canisters and taking them to a sink for a cleaning, even once a week never mind daily.

i use filter floss more for pods growth, i only change when water flow is effected

I use filter socks in my own tank and dont find that it takes up too much of my time changing them. I look after a 350G tank and wish I could use filter socks on that one. But i'd be there too often as they dont even know how to empty the skimmer cup. I have to vacum out the sump at least once a month due to all the detritus. Filter socks would eliminate alot of that.

I would say im not planning on using filter socks at all for primary filtration, I think they should be used if things get bad and only when your babysitting the tank
