After a year of an Orca 450 I'm setting up a bigger tank with sump. I have a typical 3 compartment sump with baffles/bubble stops and have the overflow pipe in the left compartment into a filter sock next to the skimmer and reserve heater. The centre section will be a layer of sand with LR pieces and cheato whilst the RH section will house the return pump, main heater and phosphate reducing media.
Whilst trawling through the net for ideas I find that some people dislike socks claiming they take too much cleaning and 'deprive the centre section of nutrients' and advocate the use of filter wool (somewhere?) whilst others think socks are good as they trap all the detritus.
Views, opinions and advice would be appreciated
