purigen needs a bag of 300 micron or less.

Would a 50 or 100 micron filter sock work?

Do you know any easy diy reactor plans?

Sure, check out the DIY section. Isn't really that hard. All you need is a large acrylic tube as the body.
Make a diffuser grate for the bottom, a pump and a PVC tube to feed water to the bottom to the diffuser grate.
And sponges to keep them in place.

Would a 50 or 100 micron filter sock work?

Yes, but it would get clog with gunk pretty easily.

Add a sponge at the bottom, pour in purigen and add another sponge over
Something like that
