I've seen them at Gold and Elite. Not sure where else.

Gold's only has media bags not filter socks

[Snappy]

I get mine at Wais Aquarium.

i went to wais and the only size he had was a 7" diameter haha, i think i am going to just order one online, thanks though

[mark]

got mine here: http://oceanaquatics.com/store/category/7/19/Miscellaneous/ (different ones though)

still amazing how much stuff they take from the water (or at least how dirty they get after a few days) and they're 100 micros

I ordered a bunch yesterday.

[tranvictor]

Anybody know if these filter socks are in yet?

[balistidae]

I too am wondering if any are in stock yet

[albert_dao]

Not yet. We can all thank Customs for that "Bless da LAWD!"

lol

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Love Canadian Customs. Always convinced I'm a drug dealer, just because I have border stamps from Thailand in my passport. Haven't they seen Brokedown Palace?! Pffft.

[balistidae]

well i have tried everyone in town to no avail, does anybody know an online supplier? I called ocean aquatics and the only bag they have has a 6" diameter. thank you all

just searching thru some old posts for info on the filter socks.
do you still have some for sale?
what microns are they?

thanks

100 micron filter bags are available online at wickedfrags.com. I keep these in the "Other" section of the site. http://www.wickedfrags.com/other.html

These are the same ones I have used them for about 1.5 years with a great deal of success. They keep your sump crystal clean (free of detritous) and control micro bubbles very well. I pull over 2000GPH through my 4' sump and not one micro bubble in the display.

You may not want the micron bags with the draw string that pulls tight around the pipe becuase when they clog with particulate, if the bag does not pull away from the pipe you can overflow your tank as the water has no where to go but up as the drain pipe is essentially clogged!

Get a 100 micron bag (the 50 micron clog too quick I have used them) with an internal plastic ring. This way, the water pours out through the top of the micron bag when the micron bag needs to be replaced.

Maintenance includes washing and rinsing them in warm water in the washing machine, no detergent or bleach recommended (well I do not use it and they wash up just fine). Depending on how much water goes through them, they can usually go 4-5 days before they have to be changed, then again for some people it is 3 days, and for others 7 days.

Note the packaging and handling fees do not apply to this item if you order it by itself without livestock. I will simply but them in a cardboard box and ship them however you prefer (courier or mail). At the same time, I can always include them with a livestock order.

Here is a picture of them in action. Worth every penny - that is why it is the only drygood I sell on the site.

Try them for a week and if you are not happy with them send them back to me and I will refund the original purchase price!!!!!!!!! (excluding shipping costs)

Thanks,
Dave

Can you get the 7 inch diameter as well? I'm using 3 at once and it's just about time for a couple new sets.
Thanks

[EG-9]

[wickedfrags]

Just replied to your PM.

7" diameter is huge! Maybe try and find them locally, I do not demand for those as most are using them individually. If you can not let me know. Thanks.
