Ok, I have had sand in my tank for a few months now and for those few months I have gone through many expensive filters.
I've read many forum posts and surfed around online about cutting the tubing and making it to where the intake is close to the surface so it wont get sand but it still does. I have tried pantyhose, those filter socks you buy in the store and they don't get the sand out. I have gone through 2 Penguin Bio-Wheel 350 filters and 1 Eheim Ecco 2234 canister and now my 2236 is dying on me.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sand from ruining filters, or do I have no choice and need to switch my substrait?
