To Filter with your Socks or not?

I have never used filter socks but I am considering it. Is there that much of a difference between felt and mesh in say ... 200 micron?

I run 75 Micron MESH.

swapped out every three days. I run two at a time

I hand wash them then soak with a capful of bleach in a 1L jug with two socks. Rinse them with lots hot water two days later and they are as clean as they were when they were new.

my sump is spotless...its the first thing reefers mention when they see my setup - how clean my sump is... must mean my display looks like $h!t

200 micron felt fills up in 1 1/2 - 2 days, 200 micron mesh seems to never fill, just a bit in the bottom. I'm going try to find 100 micron mesh.
