I am setting up a 40 gallon sump on a 150 gallon tank. I have my pot scrubbies, I have my 40 gallon breeder. The plan is, water goes into mechanical filter, goes into bucket with scrubbies, comes out of holes in the bottom of bucket with scrubbies. Gets pumped back up. That leaves the other 3/4ths of the sump to be a refugium for growing out young fish.
Only one problem: how do I do that mechanical filtration? I want an easy-to-maintain solution... I was considering filter socks, because I could have like 5-10 of them and they would be very quick to swap out. Would I want felt ones or mesh ones?
I can't be hosing out filter floss all the time.
