Using the Cade Filter Sock in a Singapore Sump

The Cade Filter Sock is a 10cm nylon mechanical filtration sock that drops into the first chamber of a sump to catch detritus, uneaten food and fine particulate before it reaches the rest of the system. On CADE sumps and similar reef or freshwater set-ups, it is the front line that keeps your display water polished and reduces the nutrient load feeding nuisance algae. The white nylon makes it easy to see at a glance when it is loaded and due for a change.

In our warm climate, organics break down fast, so a clogged sock quickly becomes a nitrate source rather than a help. We suggest swapping or rinsing it every few days depending on stocking and feeding, and keeping a spare or two so you always have a clean one ready. Wash used socks in cold water, or run them through a wash bag in the machine without detergent, and let them dry fully before reuse.
