I'm interested in doing a little survey of filter sock users to try help me figure out what size/quantity/micron socks to go for with my 2000L tank. The big problem I had with my old set up was that they clogged to the point of overflowing every three days and I very quickly grew tired of changing and washing them this frequently. This is something I am really keen to avoid this time round, though I'm not going to run ten socks in the filter either, so I'm trying to see if I can figure out some sort of ideal 'sock area to GPH' ratio. It would be a great help if anyone using socks could answer the following, I've put my old set up in as an example;
Tank volume; 1400L/370g
Stock: moderate (light/moderate/heavy will do)
Socks: 2x 100micron
How far above the water level: 1/3
GPH: 1500
Days before overflowing: 3-4
Any other filtration: FX5
Cheers!
