Is this inside or overall diameter of sock? Or did you measure sump diameter? This seems to be an odd size. Do you know the model of the sump?Does anyone know if there is a place that sells custom sized filter socks? I bought a used Eshopps sump and the hole size for the filter socks is 9-1/4 inches diameter.
There are 2 holes for socks and they measure 9-1/4 across. It's an Eshopps sumpIs this inside or overall diameter of sock? Or did you measure sump diameter? This seems to be an odd size. Do you know the model of the sump?
The sumps require different size socks. If you have model we can verify. Just for example. These list filter sock sizes for the eshopps sump with 2 sock holders as you state. None at 9.25.There are 2 holes for socks and they measure 9-1/4 across. It's an Eshopps sump
That is the measured size. I can find a model number on it. I do see an Eshopps badge thoughThe sumps require different size socks. If you have model we can verify. Just for example. These list filter sock sizes for the eshopps sump with 2 sock holders as you state. None at 9.25.
If you don't know model, take picture and we can help identify. Hopefully we can find you one soon.
can you post a picture of the whole sump, then maybe someone can assist you in identifying it and finding the filter socks for you.
That may be the way to go but I've had less than awesome experiences with 3D printed material in saltwater. Don't last particularly long.The easier thing to do would be to 3d print adaptor rings 7” socks
That tracks with how my luck goes. I will have to look into having an adapter made or something of the sort. Maybe a basket instead of socks.That looks to be an Eshopps Royale sump, uses 9.5" filter socks. I doubt they make them anymore as everywhere seems to be out of stock. I'd recommend having an adapter made out of acrylic, shouldnt be too expensive.
make a cardboard cutout thats the same size and head down to The Dollar Store or The Container Store and maybe you'll get lucky?That tracks with how my luck goes. I will have to look into having an adapter made or something of the sort. Maybe a basket instead of socks.
Are you using ABS?That may be the way to go but I've had less than awesome experiences with 3D printed material in saltwater. Don't last particularly long.

PETG is the culprit. I didn't know ABS was aquarium safe.Are you using ABS?
PETG will get brittle rather quickly.
I'm thinking basket and socks. Socks for cleaning and basket for media and floss.Make baskets, buy a bag of poly fill for 8 bucks at Walmart or any craft store.
I just put polyfill in between my sump baffle, been doing this for 15 years.
I misspoke, Abs and PETG are what people print with for in the water. PLA will get brittle and PETG lesser (years in my experience). I print with ABS and have no trouble. But I would use PETG too.PETG is the culprit. I didn't know ABS was aquarium safe.
