Wow Sylvio, those strainers are SO expensive for you! That is certainly too much money! Matt, the 200 micron mesh sock was in perfect condition. It caught some stuff, but certainly not the fine particles the felt sock caught.

Thanks for this thread. I am designing the sump for my growout rack and this has been very helpful. I believe I have settled on using filter pads on an egg crate rack similar to what you pictured, and then will experiment with different materials. It looks like DFS sells both 100 and 50 micron felt pads for pretty cheap so I may give them a try.

I saw something the other day in a Co-op Homehardware store. They were the bucket filters for maple syrup. I noticed them but did not have time to find out what size filter they were. Some were cloth like and some were paper-like.

Well, I stopped by the fabric store today and bought a roll of 30" by 30 meters (100 feet) 1" polyester quilt stuff. It cost me $65 with taxes. I hate the idea of throwing this all in the dumpster, but for the cost of it and the extreme ease of use, it's hard to say no.

Do you think the water should flow through the filter material above the water line or below so that the filter material always stays submerged?

I always have it just barely above the surface. I'm not sure if there would be any advantage to it being submersed...?

I needed a media bag in a hurry and all I couls find at home was my rotifer floss. I had a yard or so. So I stitched it into a bag and used it. It really grabbed the stuff. I don't know what makes it better than other floss/ media but it did really hold on to it.
