    Socks and Skimmers

    You might want to take them out of the sock before you run them through the wringer though. :smug: You must have been a mighty mibster.

    300 Gallon upgrade

    I used a couple of Tunze pumps, along with some 3" PVC fittings and pipe to facilitate water movement around the overflow chambers in the bottom of my tank, and behind/through the rock.

    Socks and Skimmers

    I use marbles to keep mine in place, I haven't lost any yet. I also just rinse them out, and like Paul, just rub them between my hands, but I do soak them for a couple of days in a solution of bleach, rinse them again and hang them up to dry.

    Socks and Skimmers

    I think 200 micron is pretty standard regardless of mesh or felt. I started with felt, but found it difficult to get clean, so I now use the mesh type.

    Gas Could Hit $5 By Summer

    Depends on how far you have to trailer it. But it doesn't have to be E10 (Ethanol). All gas sold at the dock is E10, so I have to use a fuel stabilizer every time I get gas(adds about $.60 per gallon).

    Gas Could Hit $5 By Summer

    My other hobby is a hole in the water, and although it's relatively small it still holds 82 gallons of gas, that's going to be fun to fill up. Gas at the dock is always much more expensive that at roadside stations. :jaded::nightmare:

    Rocks

    Densely packed rock can cause problems. I would try to create as many caves and arches as possible to allow water to flow through and behind the rock. I used 3" PVC pipe and fittings to help with this.

    Any Spartacus Fans?

    I have been watching, and enjoying it. I bought the first two seasons on DVD. Rome was another series I liked, and have those two seasons on DVD.

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    Not necessarily, but if you were I was going to suggest that you cut back until the "snotties" disappeared. In that case, in the interest in keeping an unimpeded flow going, I would clean it out.
