So your first mistake is in even using filter socks. I haven't used them in a year now and my tank is crystal clear with no issues whatsoever. They are a waste of time!!!
Hi I use a 200 (15 inches long) in my tank. Clean mine I turn it inside out put it on the end of a garden rake and blast with a hose pipe. It comes up really clean. And last about 6 days. Hope this helps...
Are you saying cleaning socks after every 12/24 hours???
I run socks and my system is not too clean by I need to change after 3 days so twice a week at the most. Mine are 200 microns. While you are cleaning the socks do you see residual food or something other than food? From your write up it look you clean them well so there is no other reason for them to clog within 24 hour......Hope your water is clean and you use RO/DI water. Did you try slow flow rate like @melypr1985 suggested or may try some brand new socks...
Hows it goin with the new socks bud? Your old one is a vertex sock. Ive never used them but some peoples reviews say there garbage after 4 or 5 washesThanks, yea I'm convinced I was using a very low micron, still not sure what it is/was.

Following. I'm planning my build and am deciding on this right now. So 100 microns clog more quickly? And mesh is better than felt? And what brands do you recommend?
So that size lets bigger particles through and clogs less often? Is there any down side to running a sock?I'm using 225 micron mesh bags and they are working great atm.

So there's two kinds, mesh and felt? I'm assuming the felt would clog more easily.Yea, but the one I had before were like 100 micron which was CRYSTAL clear, with these it's still very clear, but the other ones clogged in like 2 hours. This one is going on 28 hours no issues.
