wet / dry sump sock replacement

i been using a wet/dry sump which comes with bio balls

i remove the bio balls reading on the forums how it could be bad for your tank

but i been using square sheet of filter which sits on top of the wet/dry sump and was wondering if i could just get a micron sock to replace the square filter that i change out every two weeks

would the micron sock be better?

 

ya the sock will be better as the watter HAS to go thru it. just make sure to keep it clean

 

the sock will do the trick but will need to be cleaned weekly at a minimum, most people use several and just swap them out every few days.

to clean just run them thru the washing machine with a bit of bleach, NO Detergent!
let them air dry for a day before use

 

how much do they run for? can i hand wash it with bleach? thanks for the replies

 

socks are like 5-10$. you can get get handy kits to have them attatch to the side of you sump for around 20$. try this site BRS "Mesh" filter sock 4 " x 14" 200 Micron (w/ Draw String) - English

 

yes, hand washing works, im just to lazy to do it that way
