Filter Socks

Cleaner Water Starts With Better Mechanical Filtration

Every aquarium carries particles that you don't want circulating through the system. Uneaten food, fish waste, detritus and other suspended debris can make water look cloudy and eventually accumulate throughout the aquarium.

Filter Socks provide a simple and effective way to physically remove these particles before they continue through the filtration system. By trapping suspended waste in the sock, they help keep aquarium water cleaner and clearer while making routine maintenance easier.

With different filtration options available, you can choose the sock that best matches your aquarium and the job you're trying to accomplish.

Choose The Filtration You Need

Different situations call for different levels of mechanical filtration.

The 200 micron filter sock is designed for everyday filtration and is made from reusable polypropylene for long-term use. The 200 micron mesh filter sock offers an even easier cleaning routine—simply remove it, hose it off and put it back into service.

For situations where extremely fine filtration is required, the 10 micron filter sock provides much finer particle capture. It can also be used with Blue Life Phosphate RX during emergency phosphate treatment, trapping the resulting material so it can be removed from the aquarium.

Trap Waste Before It Circulates

Mechanical filtration works by catching suspended particles before they move further through the aquarium system.

This helps prevent debris from continually circulating through the display and gives you an easy way to physically remove captured waste from the system. Regular cleaning or replacement keeps the sock functioning effectively and prevents accumulated debris from becoming a source of unwanted nutrients.

Reusable And Easy To Maintain

Aquarium maintenance doesn't need to be complicated.

The reusable filter sock options can be cleaned and returned to service, making them a practical choice for ongoing filtration. The polypropylene 200 micron sock is designed to withstand regular cleaning, while the mesh version can simply be hosed off for quick maintenance.

Keeping a few clean socks ready to go makes routine filter maintenance even easier.

Find The Right Sock For Your System

Whether you need dependable everyday filtration, an easy-clean mesh option or extremely fine particle capture, there is a Filter Sock option to suit the job.

Add mechanical filtration to your sump or filtration system and keep suspended waste where it belongs—in the filter sock, not circulating around your aquarium.
