Aquarium Pre-Sump Filter Socks (4" Opening, 150/200 Micron Felt)
πΎ Product Overview
Aquarium pre-sump filter socks β 4-inch opening, 150/200 micron felt, reef tank micron bags β these aquarium pre-sump filter socks provide high-efficiency mechanical filtration for sump systems with a 4-inch standard opening for direct pipe connection, felt construction in 150 or 200 micron for fine particle capture, and reef tank compatibility for marine and saltwater applications. Filter socks are the primary mechanical filtration stage in sump systems β positioned at the drain pipe where tank water first enters the sump, they capture fish waste, uneaten food, and organic particles before they break down and contribute to nitrate buildup in the system.

π Why You'll Love It
Filter socks are the unsung workhorses of sump-based filtration β they handle the physical waste removal that all other filtration stages depend on, capturing particulate matter at the system entry point so that biological media, refugiums, and skimmers can focus on dissolved waste rather than competing with solid organic particles. In reef tanks specifically, where coral health depends on pristine water quality and low dissolved organic levels, filter socks that capture fine particles at the 150-200 micron level reduce the organic load that would otherwise break down into nitrates and phosphates that bleach corals and fuel algae growth. Rotating two filter socks β one in use while the other dries β allows daily or every-other-day changes without needing to wet-rinse and immediately reinstall a dripping sock.
