That time that you're spending pre-washing them is the time you would spend changing them out everyday. Feed the fish, check the top up vessel, change the sock...5 mins.

Good point. I guess that does make more sense to replace daily then pre rinsing them.

I have 6 on rotation, every 3 or 4 days they come out and a new one goes in, the dirty ones get a quick rinse in the sink and then wait untill I have enough for a load, I just run a heavy wash with prerwash cycle and a bit of bleech, they come out nice and white every time.
