    Default Socks in Socks?

    I have a question from this thread: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...-Changes/page2 that I want to ask for more specific information and opinions on.

    I currently run a 4" X 13" 100 micron felt filter sock that sits in a plastic bracket.
    I'm thinking of slipping a 7" X 16" 25 micron nylon mesh filter sock around it (one inside the other).

    I've never used mesh socks before.
    Will a fine mesh sock pick anything much extra up in this circumstance?
    Should I consider either 10 or 50 micron instead?
    Can anybody see a problem with the sock inside a sock? (I have limited space in the entry to the sump)
    Would a fine mesh sock polish water?

    Secondly, does anybody else use the socks with a metal ring? Is the metal OK in the Discus aquarium, or do I need to replace it with a plastic fitting?
