Reefing newb
So tonight i replaced my old skimmer in my sump with a new one. The new one takes up more space and shares the same compartment with my filter sock. It has now gone from difficult to a p.i.t.a. to change the sock once it becomes clogged. I'm entertaining the idea of not running a sock at all but my only reservation is snails or some other small solids getting sucked into the skimmer motor. Plus I have been under the assumption that a good filter sock has decent water polishing capabilities. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who don't run a sock and I would love opinions from both sides.
