That seems like a pan in the butt to do. Well I'd say 80% the particals was air bubbles from my skimmer so I was thinking maybe I could just wrap the sock around the out let tube on my skimmer. I also just realized I need a bigger skimmer. I didn't know the cpr s only good up to6 0 gallons and I'm running it on a 120 gallon tank. So I'm guessing that will help out to.
