Hey guys I was wondering what type of filter sock is best to get. I've seen many different kinds like 100,150,200 micron, felt, polyester. I was also wondering if there is a negative to running carbon in your filter sock. Btw this is a 125 gallon mixed reef.
Thanks

I use 200 micron felt socks for day to day use. Felt seems to work much better than the mesh socks when it comes to not allowing solids to pass through them.

I use 200 micron. I also run carbon in them occasionally with no ill effects.
