Nano Cube Filter Sock

[SteveZz]

I'm considering changing from sponges in my nano cubes filter to a filter sock. My question is has anyone built something to get a filter sock to fit successfully into the nano cube system that could maybe show me a how to or provide some insight as to if this is a good idea and how to possibly set one up?

Thanks.

Bump. Would like to know as well. What kind of Nano do you have?

Bump. I would like to know as well. I have a JBJ and always wanted to swap out the filter floss for the sock.

you can try siliconing a square acrylic in the back with a hole for the sock?

or you can just try one of these mediabaskets: http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Nano-Cube-24-Media-Basket-NC24MR.htm

Yea I was considerin siliconing into the back as you're saying there. Seems like a good idea. The media baskets I don't see how I could attach a filter sock to.

Why do you want to use a filter sock anyway? I think it's better to use filter floss and change them out every few days. No need to clean the floss, just throw it out after each use.

Well I'm still pretty new with all of this. I was just told by a friend that filter socks would work better and catch more than the sponges I currently have. This filter floss is essentially the same as the sock? and just gets replaced every few days?

can you give some sort of dimension, or some pics. It might help in custimizing something, i'm up for a challenge
