In sump filter

[Azilla]

Whats the best kind of filter to use in your sump like between the walls. Reason i ask this is when i do water changes i suck all the crap outa my sump but when i readd the water there is still crap in there that gets mixed up then make my tank all cloudy for a few hours.

Some people, including me, use micron bag filters on the sump inflow.

where can u pick those up??? and how long do they last

You can clean these relatively easily every 3-4 days just rinsing with hot water, and once a month using bleach. They are made out of polypropylene so they should last for a while. Getting them is a tough part. I got mine, rated at 100microns, from US wholesaler. I will be getting also 50micron ones pretty soon. You have to order at least 25. PM if you are interested I can sell you one or two. :lol:

You could always try JL Fluid Stabilisers out of Nisku. We use them for oilfield filterbag supply.

Ocean Aquatics sells the filter socks as well. I am not sure of the Micron size.
