FS: Filter Socks / Micron Bags
Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2009 5:20 pm
Hey guys, so my mom is a retired seamstress so she's been able to make these filter socks for my own tank. I'm just wondering if anyone wants them too. Same excellent quality as retailed socks which go for $8-12 a piece! we're selling for so cheap, that obviously it’s not for profit, but merely as a great service contribution to the reefing society to have them available because we all know how expensive this hobby is. More importantly, most vendors don't carry them.

Background Product Information:
- Most convenient form of mechanical filtration to remove organic waste resulting in crystal clear water.
- Help collect and clear micro bubbles too!
- Help prevent larger objects, such as sand, crabs, snails, etc. from damaging pump motors.
- Reef-safe! I use them for my reef for over a year, freshwater tank, and for my pond outside.
- Inside layer has different texture for easier cleaning.
- Durable polyester micron fabric.
- Double-seamed all around for strength and security. see picture
- To clean, i usually spray them with a pressured garden hose. I've also heard of others throwing them in the laundry machine, though i don't advise b/c of the detergent issue.
- Durable enough to be reusable, yet affordable enough to be disposable!

"FILTER SOCKS/ Micron Bags are the most convenient form of mechanical filtration. They remove excess food, detritus, organic waste, dust, and other particulates. Removing these particulates from the water column will reduce the amount of organic matter that produces ammonia and other undesirable substances in the aquarium. Filter socks also help prevent larger objects, such as sand, crabs, snails, etc. from damaging pump motors. Regular filter sock use will lower organic levels and result in CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER!"
