eshopps rs300 sock filter issues

hey guys i purchased eshopp rs300 for my 120g dual drilled tank about 3 weeks ago.

i am having issues with the sock filters getting cloged up to fast. its to the point where they will over flow in a matter of a couple of hours not days or weeks.

i have 2 sets of OEM sqaure filter socks

i purcahsed a 2nd set yesterday so i can have a alternating set.

the brand new ones clogged in 4 hours and was over flowing from the top. but they are clean ! barley dirty !

whene i first installed it 3 weeks ago i was able to get a good 2 weeks out of them, they were very brown and dirty .

im about a month into the cycling process and not sure if that has something to do it with it also or the addition to a phos ban reaactor.

it could maybe too much water flow?, i have a rio32hf its rated at 1,900 gph which i have split into the over flows. i also have a T ball valve which i have alos cut down the water flow with no help and still clogs guessing around 100 gph.

i also just recently added a few days ago a phosban reacotor with np pearls i followed the intsrctions to a T only using a small amount at a time.

i am now at the point i had to completly remove the socks.

any help or suggestions would be great

much apreciated.
