Earlier I asked for people’s experiences with sumps vs canister filters (https://www.plantedtank.net/#/topics/1313561). Based on the responses, I went with a sump as my main filter. Now I am deciding on the type of mechanical filtration to use in the sump.
I know that roller filters are all the rage in reef tanks. However, given all the detritus produced in a planted tank, I wonder if they are appropriate for planted tank use. Has anyone used a filter roller? What are your thoughts?
Alternatively I can use filter floss in filter sock cups. Any experiences with this?
Third option is to use a combination of sponges at the drain pipes. What would be a good design for this?
Thanks in advance for your input.
