Upgrade sump filtration system for clearer aquarium water
Filter socks stay hidden out of the way in the sump, but they are a boon for clear aquarium water. Micron filter bags provide excellent mechanical filtration, which helps reduce the amount of ammonia-producing organic matter in your aquarium. They also help prevent larger objects such as sand, crabs, and snails from damaging pump motors. Add these Eshopps filter socks effortlessly to your existing sump. Simply loosen the adjustable acrylic brackets, slip a Micron Bag Holder onto the edge of your sump, and tighten the screws by hand to secure. Choose from Round or Rectangular Bags; Rectangular Bag offers 2x more filter space than round models, perfect for larger sumps or those wanting to change filter socks less frequently. 200 Micron Bags available in 7" x 4-1/2" x 14-1/2" rectangular or 4" diameter x 13" or 7" diameter x 16" round.

Benefits of Mechanical Filtration
Mechanical filtration can greatly improve the health of most aquariums, and is also important for efficient biological filtration. The process is simple: mechanical media traps solid debris such as fish excrement, sludge, uneaten food, or dust from your aquarium as water passes through. Debris-laden media can then be mechanically removed and rinsed or replaced with ease. This not only reduces the amount of solid debris in your water but prevents debris from rapidly clogging biological media and creating conditions that prevent efficient breakdown of waste.
Mechanical filtration can greatly improve the health of most aquariums, and is also important for the efficiency of your biological filtration. The process is simple: mechanical media strains solid debris.
Biological filtration is the action of bacteria breaking down dangerous ammonia, converting it to nitrite, and then converting nitrite to less toxic nitrate. This article discusses how the process works.
While most aquarists agree biological filtration is imperative for your aquarium's health, not all agree that mechanical and chemical filtration is absolutely necessary.
Aquarium filter media are usually grouped into three basic categories: mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. Hybrid filter media are becoming more common as aquarium hobbyists expect more from their equipment and filter media.
