I hate using filter socks is there any sumps for my 225 gallon tank that doesn’t use filter socks or used like filter sponge if so I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Have you thought about switching to a roller mat instead of filter socks ?

I second the roller mat if you don’t want socks. There are a lot of great sump options out there if you decide to go that route. For larger tanks, there are even sumps that are setup for dual roller mats.

If you don’t want either, take a look at sumps made for the triton method. Since triton focuses on a large refugium as the primary method of filtration (backed by a strong skimmer), the sumps are made without filter socks.

If you already have a sump and hate the socks, a Dremel tool goes a long way towards removing the holders

I've got this sump that I never set up that was built to accommodate a fleece roller. I have a ClariSea SK-5000 Gen 3 I could include with the sump for an additional $200
