best FILTER Socks to buy??

[Reef Reaper]

I have a quick question about filter socks. Mine always seem so difficult to flip inside out and vice versa. Does any one use socks that are softer and easier to flip? I tried using the 200 micron mesh type sock, but I don't really care for them. thanks for looking!!

Are you talking about flipping them inside out when they are dirty, so that you can wash them?
I find it easier to do when they are wet

Yes but it is still not that easy albano

There?s no easy way of doing it that?s the part I hate about washing them

I just bought filter media cups and will use filter floss instead. I rather pay a few more bucks then deal with the maintenance and wife getting mad at me washing the socks everywhere.

Check out marine depot.

7" socks are easy to turn inside out, 4" are more difficult.
I rinse them out, turn them inside out and rinse again then throw them into a covered bucket until there's 8~10 before putting them into a washing machine with bleach.

I wish I had the larger 7inch filter socks but my sump can only accommodate 4 inch filter socks

I have the 7 inch, they are still a pain. I can only imagine what the 4" are like. I need to get more. mine are 200 micron. I would try the socks and floss. You may not get small microns with ir though
