Hey lowcell, how often are you having to switch out your filter socks?

About every other water change, so about once every two weeks.

:eek: I'm having to change mine every 48 hours!! Maybe its just because I have play sand, and a lot of it seems to end up in the overflows from my rays and pike cichlids...

This is why i'm debating about using filter socks on my new 220g tank. I won't be using play sand, so I won't have to worry about that, but I don't want to keep having to change filter socks every other damn day...
 
I am running a 100 micron inside of a 50 micron. I finally changed my filter socks after a month or so.

I think it must just be the tank that its on, and the play sand. I think its just so fine, its getting in the overflows and constantly clogging up my socks.

I'll probably go with the filter socks on my new tank and sump, and hopefully they won't clog nearly as fast...
