Live aquarium filtration?

Getting ready to travel to Reefapalooza California this weekend and look what I found inside this 2.75in NOSOK that we run in our 10-gallon Waterbox cube tank. It's an entire colony of filter feeding tube worms.

Apparently they have been hard at work keeping this tank, looking great. And the cool thing is, with the NOSOK, we get to keep them both in place, but also contain them to a single location inside the tank. It is literally like a live particulate filter...

We'll be at Reefapalooza California
This weekend at booth 614A. Stop by and get yourself a NOSOK, and STOP WASHING YOUR SOCKS!

You can use all kinds of different filtration media, such as activated carbon infused spong, poly filters, course black sponge, fleece sheets or filter floss. The customization is nearly limitless.

Available in 2.75, 4in and 7in sizes, the NOSOK is now available at ypur favorite online retailer and many local fish stores.

The NOSOK is the most effective way to run filter floss in your aquariums - nothing goes to waste. Plus, with the NOSOK, inexpensive floss performs like a more traditional filter sock.

It's been a minute...

After a few weeks of traveling for Reef-a-palooza Orlando  and then Aquashella Dallas, I finally got a chance to clean the NOSOKs in the big reef tank.

It was definitely due - but even with it fully clogged,  the task was quick and simple.

No fuss, no muss - we will never have to wash a filter sock again!
