Works great for me (GFO and carbon) By Nick on 4/3/13

So far, the mesh has held up well in my sump, so it does what it says it does. Oh, and in case you like knotting your mesh bags about 600 times, you have PLENTY of drawstring to do just that!

buy it now, a felt and mesh By Joe on 3/23/13

Joe would recommend this product to a friend

OK lots of people use these, however you need a pair every two days to quickly change them out when filled with some serious funk. Or when an angry spouse asks how much longer are you cleaning that thing. I use felt and mesh combined with great results, and yes swap them out quickly. They are easily rinsed, and cleaned with a little chlorine (bleach) and water soaked several hours. Make sure they are thoroughly rinsed of chlorine before they go back in the tank. Great buy!

I use the 4" bag and stick a bag of Chemipure in it then the tubing from my overflow. Keeps my tank a lot cleaner. Love it. I have two and change it weekly rotating the bags. I want to buy more/

Easy to Clean By Moss on 1/28/13

Filters very well and is extremely easy to clean. It would be better if the stitching was stronger though.

Decent but not great By David on 1/8/13

David wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

I know that I am in the minority but the mesh sock actually clogs up much quicker in my tank than the felt one. The stitching also comes unraveled fairly quickly. The BRS felt socks seem to be made much better and are my preference over this one.

only bad product on BRS By josh on 1/4/13

josh wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

i bought 4 and 2 fell apart almost instantly. the 3rd looks like it isnt going to last long either. and likely the 4th (small one ) will not last long either. the stiching that holds the drawstring in just came undone. i had planned on using these as media bags but now they are just trash. im afraid to use them on my tank for fear of clogging pumps or baffles.

Very good quality socks. I’m using only BRS mesh filter socks with draw string for more than 1 year.

4” x 8” BRS Mesh Filter Sock with Draw String By DrewF on 8/22/12

Bought this to replace the JBJ Nano cube's default Carbon back. Filled with ROX .8 carbon. Water looks great and is notably cleaner.

Good product at a fair price By Andy on 7/21/12

Andy would recommend this product to a friend

It is a mesh bag so there is not a lot to go wrong but it is constructed well and I like the drawstring. Some others I have used use a large releasable zip tie and it is cumbersom.

Nice catching all the junk By Jason on 6/27/12

Jason would recommend this product to a friend

I purchased 3 of these mesh socks as well as 3 of their felt counterparts. The draw string makes them very easy to secure in my system. My 60g is lightly stocked at the moment so I only find myself removing these every 5 days or so...not due to clogging, but simply wanting to prevent them from becoming nitrate factories. They effectively capture a large percentage of the particulates in the water (and adventurous pods!) , but if they aren't changed frequently some items (algae, food, etc) will break down and make their way through the mesh material relatively quickly (the felt performs better in this capacity). Overall they've been very effective and completely did away with the salt creep I'd been getting from all the stray bubbles in my overflow/return. All that said, when I want my water to look truly polished I'll pop in the felt socks. Both materials have held up well for me through many (albeit gentle) hand and machine washings.

Bought this to avoid spending lots of money on carbon packs for my Fluval. I love that I can now just put carbon into the sock, tie it off, and put it into my canister filter. Saves me a fair amount of money doing it this way and the sock is also good at catching debris that might normally get back into my reef.

Good if your gonna run a filter block also By Daniel on 3/8/12

Daniel wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

I have used the cloth filter socks and while they do collect more they need to be changed almost on a daily basis, switched to these for ease of cleaning but still need to use a filter block along with them

The stitching on mine fell apart after a few rounds of carbon. Unravelled. =-\ The stretchy mesh ones seem more durable.

Not efficient enough By Han on 11/22/11

Han wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

Compared with "felt" filter sock, this "mesh" filter sock seems like it doesn't catches nothing beside large pieces. I end up not using filter sock so I don't have to wash them. If you decide to use filter sock, try "felt" one.

Just got this sock last week and so far it is working great. It holds media very well.

Seamless (no pun intended) By Jason on 7/18/11

Jason would recommend this product to a friend

When doing your routine maintenance, simply turn the sock inside out & rinse. An additonal minor mechanical filtration tool and peace of mind, that nothing is going through the pump. Critical for a fuge or sump, inexpensive and ideal. Thanks BRS!

Easier to clean than the felt. It also does not clog as quickly.

Great for rinsing By Mike on 1/10/11

Mike would recommend this product to a friend

I used these mesh socks to rinse media before use in a reactor. They have large enough holes to rinse any "fines" away from your carbon or GFO. Can also use to run carbon in a large tank for short periods of time.

Great Mechanical Filter By Michael on 9/12/10

The draw string makes it easy to adapt to anything really...Just make sure you clean this regularly. It catches alot of stuff but clogs fast which can cause overflows.
