Aquatik Filter Sock – 225 Micron Mesh
Maintain strong water flow while removing suspended waste with the Aquatik 225 Micron Mesh Filter Sock. Designed for use in marine aquariums and reef tank sumps, it captures detritus, uneaten food and larger particles before they circulate through the aquarium or accumulate around filtration equipment.
The durable 225-micron mesh construction offers excellent flow characteristics and is easier to clean than traditional felt filter socks. This makes it a practical choice for everyday mechanical filtration, newly established aquariums, heavy maintenance periods or tanks carrying a high amount of suspended debris.

Mesh vs Felt Filter Socks
A mesh filter sock is ideal when maintaining water flow and easy cleaning are the main priorities. It captures larger particles effectively without polishing the water as finely as a felt filter sock.
Choose the 225 Micron Mesh Filter Sock for everyday waste collection, higher-flow systems or periods when your aquarium contains increased suspended debris.
Choose a felt filter sock when you want finer filtration and maximum water polishing.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the filter sock once it becomes visibly dirty or water flow begins to reduce. The reusable mesh construction can be rinsed or machine-washed and returned to service once thoroughly cleaned.
Regular cleaning prevents captured organic waste from remaining inside the aquarium system and helps maintain consistent water flow through the sump.
