Looks interesting. Only concern I have is what happens if the socks get really clogged? Does that start to back up the water?

Thanks for the thread. I'll read through the whole thing in a bit.

I'm cheap and lazy. I used two carabiner clips that are about 2-3 inches long and I clipped those to the two inside plastic hangers. I then have two sturdy zip ties on those that hold them at the correct height under the stand. The zip ties go through some d-rings screwed into the stand. To change a sock I just unclip the carabiners, remove the old sock, slide the new one in and clip it in place and put the hose back in it.

My sock is positioned about 2 inches below the top of the tank, if it clogs it just overflows into the first baffle compartment..
