I'm soaking one of my 100 micron at a time now. Just enough water to submerge the sock in a pail and a few caps of bleach. 2 days later I rinse it well and soak in water for one day before air drying. They are like new after this.

I run carbon in one of my phosban reactors and put the return water through my sock as well. Stops tiny little bits of black media from getting in the tank.

I'm also a plus1 on the snail trap. I'm constantly picking out small snails before I clean mine and returning them to the display.
