Ok, here is my thought. Fish and inverts require food which leads to waste. While waste can be suspended in the water column it is bound to land and sit somewhere which is unsightly or may even decrease water quality. Assuming either of those is correct it would be ideal to remove the undesirable sediment right?
Here are some options:
Filter sock, they work but they are just a pain to clean
I've heard of people using disposable milk socks which sound appealing but it seems like you have to change them several times a week.
I saw one guy who had an extra tank before his sump and fuge that he would empty with each water change. This would be if there was room which I may be able to work into my stand..... I can't recall what he did to make the sediment collect in the tank though....
Foam/mesh in front of a baffle or drain would work .... like a filter sock it has to be cleaned but it sounds like less of a hassle to me.
What other options are there and what do you consider to be your ideal set up?
And No, I am not going fishless![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
