$40/month I wish! I'm using Reef Crystals... very reasonable compared to others but not that reasonable =)

As for the socks I run a pair of 200 micron and a a mesh 300 to catch larger stuff and bubbles should the first 2 clog before I change them.

I have four of the 200s and have started machine washing the ones not in use with a little bleach. Wish I'd done this sooner! Wife didn't even hit me when I told her.
