How do you prevent detritus from settling in your sump?
Hey Gary! I hope you are doing well.

Interesting topic. I don't use socks regularly. I don't prevent detritus from settling in the sump, I want it to settle so it can be removed during water changes. I also storm the tank every once in awhile with socks until they fill up, then I remove them. I think there are benefits and drawbacks to both ways.

If I was going Triton and not doing water changes I think I'd break the rules and use socks. My sump gets pretty filthy. If you can't change water, it's gonna be a pain to keep things clean without using socks.
