On my 150 gallon tank I have two Eheim 2217 canisters and I still see small debris floating around. It is a tank that has been running for about five years and it is never ending. I switched the background of my tank to a light color just to make it less noticeable. The water parameters are good. 10 nitrate, 0 nitrate and ammonia, 7.0ph. I have an auto drip system with about 10 galons per day going into the system. I was wondering if there was a way to put a 50 micron sock in each canister or something. I thought this might help .... maybe Im just too picky. Any thoughts?
Micron Sock in a Canister?

Just an idea..... You may want to run the returns through a micron sock first (for a day or two) before installing the pads. That will extend the life of your canister, but still expect the flow to drop within a few days to a week or two.
So I bought some pads and zip tied them into a bag shape and tied them to the returns and its crystal clear within two hours. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
