I ordered media basket's but I was thinking the felt filter socks would at least help clear the fine particulates in the water when the tank is first filled? Am I wrong?

Not at all. I used inTanks filter floss and that also worked to filter out my initial sandstorm etc.. but the socks that came with it are fine as wellI ordered media basket's but I was thinking the felt filter socks would at least help clear the fine particulates in the water when the tank is first filled?

I was just using the supplied sponge filter that waterbox supplies, but i just cut a piece of poly filter pad to hopefully catch the finer stuff!Not at all. I used inTanks filter floss and that also worked to filter out my initial sandstorm etc.. but the socks that came with it are fine as well
Im going to set up a trap for the isopod(s) and see if there are any more. I wasnt able to find any others when the lights were out last night, but that doesnt mean they arent there. I Also still need to get rid of one gorilla crab, he just hides in his hole all day and wont come out, so i’m going to have to force him out lolBad luck with the live rock. I got bristle worms (don't mind them much) and a live clam. His name is Steve.
It was an $8 food storage container from walmart. Teal lid. Had a separate serving lid inside that could open and close depending on what you had in there, but i took it out so i could just drill the two holes for the hose and power line. Pretty simple setup and its about 3 gallons. I dont get much evaporation so it lasts over a week or 2What container are you using for you ATO supply? I'm currently using a Seachem 5 gallon water transport container, but the its beena little challenging since the entire top doesn't open. What you are using seems like a nicer solution.
Dont back out! The small nuisance pests can be removed. Its so worth it imo. Just staring at rock has kept me busy and i dont even mind not having any fish in there. I’ll take the slight time it takes to remove hitchhikers i dont want, than for it to take 2 years to establish a dry rock tank. Just my .02 though, i’ve done it both ways. Im loving it!Nice build! I've considered tbs rock many times over the years, but I always back out at the last moment. Maybe ill set up a little nano and give it a try
Bristle worm maybe? I have them in my tank and they retreat real quick when I shine a flash light on them after lights outAnyone know what this is? As soon as i shine a light on it the thing retreats into hiding super fast
