Recycling Pods from Filter Sock

[Fmellish]

I'm wondering if anyone else is as strange as I am.

When I change my filter sock every week I turn it inside out inside of a bucket before throwing it in the wash.

In the bucket I rinse off all of the baby snails and pods. Then I take this disgusting water teeming with pods and baby snails, and I strain it through a small net, and then I throw the pods and baby snails back into the tank so they can either live on or get eaten.

Anyone else recycle the life in their filter sock or is it just me?

Am I weird?

Thanks
Josh

What's a filter sock? Better not be like a happy sock.

Nope, I know several people that do that. One of which just doesn't want to harm a life unnaturally.

i dont run a filter sock, but I do run carbon in a small mesh bag. It is usually covered in tiny stomatella. I will go through all the carbon and pick them out.

Still didn't get an answer though...is this just something that the water flows through before it continues through the filter? What type of filter is it attached to?

It's just a fine mesh net that you can have your drain pipe empty into.
