That's fair, you definitely want to make any changes now, rather than when your tank is full of rock, water, fish and corals

Also, a lot of people don't even run filter socks at all.

Yup! I'm not a Filter socks kind of guy.. I feel the benefits get out weighed by having to change and wash them at minimum once a week.

The only time I use one is if I start to stir up stuff in the sump it gets quite cloudy..

I will 2 or 3rd that you want to change and make sure everything is in order before setting it up permanently just like a house they state that it takes a family I believe 5 houses before they are happy with everything in the house.. I think it takes 10 tank builds before you're happy with how everything is setup..

I know for my next build 20 things i'm going to do differently and add/subtract.
