TRAPS LARGE PARTICLES - Our 200 micron mesh filter socks have an open weave pattern designed to trap ONLY larger particles, snails, fish and other items. 200 micron mesh socks are unlike 200 micron felt socks, which trap large to fine debris floating in the water. Trapping only larger particles means these socks will LAST LONGER AND NEED TO BE CLEANED LESS OFTEN than felt socks.
HIGH QUALITY - Polypropylene fiber strands are woven into a specific pattern and are thermally bonded to create a STRONG, DURABLE MESH SCREEN, heavy duty stitching is then used to create a long lasting filter sock. THESE DO NOT FIT RED SEA FILTERS.
EASY TO CLEAN AND REUSE - Our HEAVY DUTY MESH FILTER socks are constructed to be cleaned and reused many times. They can easily be rinsed in a sink, or for a more thorough cleaning, they are TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE CLEANED IN A WASHING MACHINE. Just follow our cleaning steps.
SPECIALTY SOCKS - Mesh socks are for hobbyists who want to keep snails and other larger size items from entering their pumps and want to clean their filter socks less often. Since mesh socks do not trap fine debris from the water, it may be BEST TO ROTATE MESH SOCKS WITH FELT SOCKS to keep aquarium water crystal clear.

Our Filter Socks Help Keep Your Aquarium Clean and Healthier
The interlocking micro-denier felt fibers are perfect for trapping uneaten food, waste excreted by livestock, decaying plants, detritus, dust, and other floating particulates.
Changing filter socks regularly increases water quality by removing collected solid organic compounds before they continue to break down and additional nutrients (which can increase algae growth) to your aquarium water.
Directions
Rinse new filter socks with clean fresh water and wring them out before using them in your filter.

Our Experience
I owned an aquarium store (and separate aquarium maintenance company) for over 25 years during which I spent a lot of time and resources searching out and testing countless filter socks to find the best for my clients. Fortunately, one stood above the rest giving consistent and repeatable filtration performance in all types of aquariums. These long-lasting heavy-duty filter socks are the best the industry has to offer!
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
It depends on the tank load, but generally you want to change your filter socks once a week or every two weeks. The more often you change your filter socks, the better your water quality; it removes organic solids before they have a chance to further break down.
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.
Our socks are untreated. The felt is soft, flexible, and perfect for trapping floating debris from the water.
We have personally tested our filter socks in the reefer sliding shelf sock holder. Our filter sock material is thick and our plastic ring is slightly too large to drop through the hole in the shelf.
Owning an aquarium store and service company for 25 years meant that we had to test countless filter socks to find the best ones. One stood above the rest giving consistent and repeatable filtration performance in freshwater, saltwater, and reef tanks.
