Please post what mechanical filtration you use and where you use it in your filtration. Pics would be awesome.
this is for me to get inspiration/ ideas. Thanks in advance.
 
filter floss??
if its what I think it is Ive used it and it worked but i hated having to buy new material once the old got clogged.

I do know how to use mechanical filter media. im just curious how others set there's up. perhaps i should've stuck this in diy
 
In take to sump > filter sock > Car washing sponge ( these 2 have to be cleaned every 3-5 days) Bio Balls ( under water so they work as mech believe it or not ), Jap matt > 30 and 15 PPI sponge. Thats all my mech :D

Then it runs over 20L of matrix 15KG of coral rubble 1.5L of purigen to the pump and over again hehehe. lol Waters spotless cant complain.

I will upload a picture in a second!

Filter socks - this is an old picture, I reworked it so they hang by the rim, not the handles (they started to break off after a while).
