I use socks to make the water clear, but don't swap them out on a regular basis. The reason is to preserve clarity of the water column while also preserving the nutrients my refugium needs for algae growth.
IMO, this method gives the best of both worlds. I get clarity and low detritus, and I have low maintenance. Nutrients stay in the water allowing algae growth.
Question: what is the effect of using socks on my pods?
Question #2: Does anyone use socks on an on/off rotation? Two days on, Three days off? Just to "touch up" the water.
