I use the felt bags with the metal ring, and the felt seamless bags with the plastic ring. I got different types, and different microns (200 micron and I think 150 micron), and I see no difference at all in water clarity.

Im gonna get 10 100 micron. I guess felt it is

how many filter sock or socks you use in your sump?? if 1 than i would get 5 x 100 micron and 5 x 50 microns in case you want your water to cleaner.. i like 50 microns more than my 200s..

Maybe get both because agree i dont like the 200's either. I dont mind swapping them out more frequently. The overflow has two bulkheads so gonna be 2 socks in the sump

I'd recommend 100 and 150, or 150 and 200. 50 micron is mighty fine

The polypropylene seem to last longer. The polyester ones shed a lot in washing machine. I get the heavy duty long life ones. They are thicker and catch more stuff. Once they begin to clog some they start catching smaller particles. I use 100 micron.

in that case, i would get 6 of each socks.. 100s and 50s.. best to have the plastic rings for the socks so i write the date i place them so i know how many times i have used the socks... when i seen enough dates on the rings i would just throw them out.. usually i use them 3 times and their garbage..

I use mostly the felt welded seam 50s from McMaster as well as some 100s. I have a couple 1s that I like to use when I really dig around in the tank or rearrange stuff, 24hrs is all I've managed to get out of these.
