Filter Sock Replacement

[Djbetterly]

I have a love-hate relationship with filter socks, as do most people I assume. I still wanted a bit of filtration though to prevent unnecessary detritus from building up in the sump. So this is what I created.

Really happy with it so far!!

nice. That is what ive seen reefers do for the red sea tanks. Then add filter floss or media. I would make sure you have an emergency drain. There are 2 drains for reefer.

Where did you buy the material?

 

[Djbetterly]

My sump has an overflow drain so I?m not too worried. I have a CNC so I just bought plexi at canal plastics and put it all together.

Bought these for my reefer 425 they work perfect just replace the floss once a week.

I use 6 paint strainer bags instead of filter socks

I would certainly be interested in buying something similar down the line. What was the cost?

Do they make these for a 7 inch sock ?

Not expensive at all, prob less than $30 in material.

Assume that most of that $30 goes to the clear pipe?

Pretty much! Not hard at all. Only change I had to make was removing the top strainer, it needed more flow. Very happy though.
