    RAE Filter Sock/Cup

    I recently watched a video on YouTube about a filter cup that’s basically a filter sock, but overtime is cheaper and just as efficient. This seems like a very good solution to the filter sock, but I can’t find much information on it. There hasn’t been any posts on it on YouTube in a year and the...

    Socks or Cups?

    Just getting my 310 gal going and am wondering how will the refugium be seeded with copepods or baby shrimp with filter socks on the return? I don’t want all the micro critters to just be washed away when the socks are rinsed. Has anyone tried the filter cups instead of socks? Reviews I’ve seen...

    Finally Crystal Clear Water

    I’ve been working on my 6ft lagoon tank that I set up as a room divider. One of my main focus is to get crystal clear water so I can see through it from all sides in to my living space. It all comes down to filter socks. I’ve tried most filter socks and wasn’t happy with results. So I went in...

    RedSea Fleece Reef Sock - 100 Micron Fine Polish

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the RedSea 100 micron fine polish fleece filter socks? I’ve tried other fleece socks from Amazon, but the plastic ring is a little larger than that of the RedSea socks. I like how the RedSea socks fit like a glove, but I don’t like that...

    Hi guys, new here to R2R. I've been in fishkeeping for a long time, but mostly freshwater. I recently converted to a saltwater setup and things are going fairly well so far. I have one minor issue that I was hoping I could ask about to see if anybody has faced the same problem: I have the...

    Filter sock alternatives?

    Filter Sock for Nano Tank?

    Hello everyone, I have a JBJ 15G cube. The Overflow Chamber: 3.25"L x 4"W x 16"H. I am looking to get a filter sock for it, but I can't find a 2.75 inch filter sock with a ring that holds it. The 4 inch ring is too big so I am kinda stuck. Anyone know what I can do?

    Cleaning Filter Socks

    I just did my first cleaning of filter socks. Used regular bleach washed and then ran a rinse cycle. When I pulled them out they still have a bleach smell on them. Is this normal or do I need to keep rinsing them until the bleach smell is gone? Worried if I use them there may be bleach residue...

    Filter Socks Smell Like Bleach

    So I used the washing machine on a sanitize cycle with a couple caps of bleach to wash my filter socks. I ran it through three rinse cycles, then let them air dry for a full day. I noticed they still have a pretty strong bleach smell. Is this normal, or would you say they still have bleach in...

    Filter Floss in Cups?

    Anyone using filter floss in cups that sit in the filter sock spots? Any issues with this? I'm preparing my next build and was thinking this would be a much easier maintenance than dealing with filter socks.

    I got tired of cleaning socks...ordered Filter media cups from BRS!

    I have about 30 plus 4” socks that I use to change out every 2-3 days. Unfortuntely, that is the easy part. Turning them inside out, then soaking them in bleach, then rinsing and allowing them to completely dry..what a PITA! So I decided, like others I am sure, to use filter cups! I have two cup...

    5 Micron Filter Socks

    @Jeremy@CoralVue Hi Jeremy, Someone here on this forum tells me that Coralvue makes or sells 5 micron filter socks. I can't find them on your website. I know you carry 5 micron sediment filters for RO systems, but he is saying filter socks as in socks for a sump. Where are they available ?
