FILTER SOCKS FAQ
Q: Is the 100 micron or 200 micron better for my aquarium?
A: The lower the micron rating, the more floating debris it removes hence the filter socks clog up faster. Many hobbyists have both the 100 and 200 micron filter socks which allow them to swap out their 200-micron socks from time to time.

Q: How often should I change the filter socks?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on the tank’s debris load. Check the sock regularly and clean or replace it before restricted flow causes it to overflow.

Q: Is it better to use a longer sock with more socks hanging in the filtered water than a shorter one?
A: Ideally the filter sock should be hanging in the water without touching or laying on the bottom of the sump. If a shorter sock is above the water line there may be more noise as water drains from the sock side and splashes into the water In your sump.

Q: Is there a glaze finish on these filter socks? the glaze makes them less flexible and stiffer. or are they untreated?
A: These socks are untreated. The felt is soft, flexible, and perfect for trapping floating debris from the water.

Q: Has anyone verified if Aquatic Experts filter socks will work with the reefer?
A: Aquatic Experts reports that these ring-style filter socks do not fit the Red Sea Reefer sliding-shelf holder; the ring is too large for the opening.
