Cencalfishguy56 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not sure in all honestly, but it's working great.i only ask because they say mesh doesn't catch as many small particles as the felt Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 i only ask because they say mesh doesn't catch as many small particles as the felt That is true, but the mesh is VERY fine. Looks solid to me with the small micron options. My skimmer is working great, nice dark black skimmate. I don't know if that is a fair analysis of the socks performance though Link to comment

I was doing mesh and then felt ones (in that order), but felt that the felt ( ) weren't any better. And they NEVER get clean Link to comment

gulfsurfer101 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 When adding sand live or dry ignore everything written on the label. Take a small amount and rinse it in a bucket till it runs clear with a water hose stirring it as you rinse. Pour it right into your tank that's about 3/4 of the way filled up. By the time you have repeated this process your water is already clear. Next you add your rock and turn your system on. Less than hour later you can add your fish if you used mature rock. The sand becomes live over time and contrary to what you've heard fw will not kill your livesand bacteria popluation completely. The stuff that lives will feed on the dead and take over once again very rapidly. Link to comment
haleigho Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Good news, the floss worked! Tank is clearing up rapidly! And after the local fish store tested my water...the cycle is almost done. Link to comment
