Best micron size for filter socks?
What micron size of filter sock is everyone using?
I just got a 100 micron and 200 micron filter socks and I think the 100 micron size definitely cleans the water better. Would a 50 micron sock be even better? I am concerned that with a smaller micron size, they socks may get plugged faster and need to be changed more often. I have been using my socks for one week and have had to change it every 3 days - it this normal? I do have a fairly large fish population and bio load. filterbag.com has 7" x 16.5" polypropylene felt, 50 micron filter socks with plastic rings for $2.75/each.
