The new frag tank looks great. I'm jealous. My only suggestion would be adding sides and/or reflectors to the light fixture. More light for the frags and less everywhere else. How about a FTS of the DT so we can see what it looks like w/o the frags?

Re: 60 Gallon Mixed ReeferRob
Thankns for the advice Andy! I did not know that about socks. How often do they need to be cleaned?Originally Posted by schminksbro
Looks great Rob! I believe you now.I would get a bunch of filter socks. They can build up NO3 quick if you don't change them often. Like daily.

Thanks Tom, there are four IceCap reflectors with this DIY. But I was thinking of doing that as well.

Thought a video would be sweet since my picture taking skills are so weak. But the quality got squashed by image shack, oh well. Hope you like my shaky no editing video.

Thanks you guys, I think I am going to do a monthly video for my thread. I could be a cool way to keep track of growth and what not. Since my photo skills bit hard!

I would swap them daily. I just wash mine in the washing machine. I run the rinse cycle with the machine empty prior to putting the socks in. I don't add any soap or detergent. Some people use bleach but that scares me.

Yikes, swap out the filter socks daily and wash daily? Seems like a lot of extra work.

for my 110g, I have to replace my Large filter sock at least every week... I bought 6 of them so when 5 are dirty, I can throw them in the machine, along with the white towels I use when tinkering with the tank.. kinda a waist to do 2 or 3 only for a load... I also use 1 capful of Clorox, although I run the washer twice... first load is with bleace, extra rinse.. then another load, extra rinse... and let the clean ones air dry until needed....
