Tideline 62G Lagoon

@Unexpected What kind of socks do you use, the ones mine came with apparently get clogged very quickly and hinder the performance of the whole filter

They are innovative marine 200 micron. On my 150, I went cheap Amazon nylon 180 micron and stuff with polyfill

Socks are sooo last century consider a filter roller instead, the Red Sea Nanomat will work


There is an aftermarket adapter specifically for the Tideline Lagoon 62 G



Are you still going to do pond soil?

I also use a simple system. Mine has a dual overflow into baskets filled with filter floss. This makes it easy to swap out weekly.

This overflows into bags filled with K2 bio balls. The center one is where the pump is along with the ATO sensor. I have my temp and pH probes in one of the chambers.

Yep, a thin base layer that will comprise the new pond soil, some of my old to seed bacteria, and probably some peat and worm castings. It’ll be capped with AS.

The rollers look cool but does it stick out of the top like that? That’d be an eyesore lol

Saves a lot of cleaning!

A work associate is a fish focused aquarist and uses sumps on all his tanks. I mentioned using rollers to him and he insists socks are far easier to maintain.

I always ditch the socks and build a platform for hold flat filter floss. It’s pretty easy to do. I have a template and cut a bunch out at a time. I switch it out once a week. I am currently cutting them out now.

This is much more graceful then my old jam a 10 ppi spong in then put floss sheets on top of it.
