Thanks!If you don't enjoy daily maintenance I wouldn't run a sock... that said if your tank is lacking nitrates adding a sock may be beneficial as it will trap tonnes of crap that can break down for you...
No tank needs a filter sock..
The function of a skimmer and a filter sock are totally different..
Technically they are the same, both are forms of mechanical filtration, just using two different mechanisms... one media the other air bubbles (fractionation)... both mechanically remove solids though...

A skimmer is chemical filtration removing compounds dissolved in the water
Filter sock is mechanical..
I don't see how there is anything chemical going in in a skimmer....
The only thing I hate more than a chemical filtration debate is a nitrate factory debate lol.
I just upgraded and have to change mine every 2 days. Do you use socks mcgyvr? As always on point with info.There is really nothing to debate in either topic..
The hard part is making people understand and accept the facts after hearing the BS for so long..
Socks don't make nitrates...
Filter socks are really just fuzzy storage solutions for trapping/keeping the compounds in one localized area..
