So I just started using filters socks again and I was curious to hear from fellow reefers how you go about cleaning them and how frequently you do? The last time I used them I was informed to flip it inside it and put in the washer and use hot water and a very small amount of bleach. This seemed to do the trick as far as cleaning them but they didn't seem to last that long. Right were the filter sock met the plastic rim, the material was disconnecting itself from the rim to the point were eventually it was barely even holding on. So needless to say I had to replace both of them but it was only around a month of them being used which seems a little to soon in my opinion. Right now, I currently have a small bio load in my 120 display. Theres a pair of black ice clowns, green file fish, melanarus wrasse, mandarin goby, and a small fox face. Everything else is coral. I appreciate any and all help.
Happy Reefing!!!
