Filter Sock And Carbon

[aeroaustin]

I wonder about people's opinion about using filter sock for their sump, its require to have it or just aquarist's prefer? its help a lot? and there are beneficial? I did ask lfs and say not need and too much hassle to keep clean. I just need the aqaurist's feedback, I noticed there some left over from foods in sump. Maybe FIlter sock will trap and keep it clean?

One question about carbon in the sump, I recall someone has mentioned about put the carbon in Phosban reaction, how much carbon in the reaction and how long it will be stay? GPH for pump the water in the Reaction?

thanks

I use a filter sock in my sump. I like it because it catches so much of the excess crap floating around. Make sure you clean it often or it will turn into a Nitrate factory. I just turn mine inside out and throw it into the washing machine on cold with no soap.
