aqua-ed Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 What is the best mechanical filter to put in my tank or sump? I have nothing right now that pulls large chunks out of my water column. Whenever I scrub my tank (especially the cyano in the overflow and sump) it just floats around until it gets stuck on my rocks or I suck it out during water changes. However, I don't want something that will just end up a nitrate factory. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I use a filter sock and change it out ~weekly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-ed Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Ah, Andy. We meet again on different ground(laugh) I have heard of these filter socks. Where do they go? I assume on the tube from the overflow to sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua-ed Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 what about some kind of removable pad in-between the baffles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah, some people do that. I tried it but I didn't like how the pads dumped a fair bit of their payload during removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
