In the 150 I have an 8" tang, a 4" trigger, 100 heads of euphyllia, branching type. No sand. I've had it set up for a couple weeks now, and have only had to change out the 4" sock once.
I'm only turning over the tank volume 1/hour. That will make a big difference. I used an old acrylic sump I had laying around, so that's all I had room for.

My new 300 is going to have 3 - 7" poly mesh sock not the felt type of sock. These are much easier to clean & don't plug up as fast. Also a friend of mine is also running 2 - 7" poly mesh socks on his 300 gal.
If you can just use 1 - 7" sock versus 3 or 4 of the 4" socks it might just be easier to handle.

I have a 180g and just switch over to filter socks from floss last week, I ended up going with one 7" sock for both overflow lines (limited space in sump) been changing it out every two days, so far so good, super easy to swap out! Ps Vertex makes really nice acrylic holders good price too

If you do some math ...
I'm no math whiz, but the last time I checked, one 7" sock is equal to 3 x 4" socks, give or take Last edited by gregzz4; 08-09-2013 at 05:56 AM.
