Overview
Fine detritus, uneaten food and dust from new rock or sand will cloud a tank fast if it isn't caught before it recirculates. The Filter Sock 225 Micron Mesh 4" from Waterbox is a mechanical filtration sock designed to trap that fine particulate matter as water passes through your sump, keeping the display genuinely clear.
At 225 microns, it strikes a practical balance — fine enough to catch meaningful detritus, without clogging so quickly that it needs constant attention.
Key features
- 225 micron mesh for effective mechanical filtration of fine particulate matter
- 4" diameter, suited to standard sump filter sock holders of that size
- Reusable — rinse and reuse rather than replace after every use
Who it's for
Reef keepers running a sump with a standard 4" filter sock holder who want a reliable, everyday mechanical filtration option for keeping the display crystal clear.
Setup & tips
- Rinse thoroughly before first use to remove any manufacturing residue or loose fibres
- Change or rinse socks every few days rather than letting them fully clog, which can restrict flow and cause a sump to overflow
- Keep a spare on rotation so one is always drying or ready to swap in
- Wash in hot water without detergent to keep the mesh in good working condition
