great option By Mary Beth on 6/10/12
Mary Beth would recommend this product to a friend
these filter socks are a great alternative to felt. i won't pretend they filter the same but would say there is little difference. the trade off is they are much easier to clean so it makes change overs very easy so they are done more often.

Works great as a splash diffuser By Tony on 6/6/12
Tony would recommend this product to a friend
Great value (got 5 in order to get better discount) I am using these as a splash diffuser on my protein skimmer, which has a return that can create quite a bit of salt creep if left un-diffused. This sock softens return splash and is easy to clean.

Better than felt By Bradley on 4/26/12

These socks seem to work just as well as my felt ones do but they are much easier to clean. I'm sure the felt catches more but it clogs more often, which is a trade off I can live with.

Easy to clean By Kerric on 4/2/12

This sock is easy to clean but I wouldn't recommend it for catching the smallest particles. It says 200 micron just like the felt socks but doesn't catch as much debris so I have to assume it is passing by. The felt socks are better for mechanical filtration but I'd leave a mesh sock like this one on if you are going on vacation for a week or two. Catches large things like algae or critters.

Works Like it Should By Arteom on 2/18/12
Arteom would recommend this product to a friend
It works like a filter sock should, it filters out small particles, yet keeps water moving.
It's a nice filter sock, but I'm a little disappointed because of the seam that runs along the sock, is not too great, the end of the twine that was used to sow the piece of mesh together untied a little for me & I had to use some super glue to keep it together and from untying further down the seam.
It not a big deal but for a six dollar (As of 2/2012) nano filter sock, I was hoping for a little better quality.

Better than felt By David on 2/13/12
David would recommend this product to a friend
I like these much better than felt. The felt mesh is easier to install and change out. I am also able to get the mesh far cleaner. The felt socks got nasty pretty quick, i think that both are of high quality and performance but my preference is mesh.

Great filter sock By Brenton on 2/13/12
Brenton would recommend this product to a friend
This sock works great compared to some others i have tried. Really seams to catch almost everything and is really built to last which is nice for those of us who like to wash filter socks and use them long term.

Awsome By Rocco on 2/5/12

These filter socks work great. Catch the larger gunk and easy to clean so it doesn't become a nitrate spiker.

A necessity for any sump By Brian on 1/13/12
Brian would recommend this product to a friend
I ran a sump without a filter sock for a year. It was a pain to clean and got nasty really fast. It's wayyy easier to change a sock every few days than to clean your sump out every few months.
These socks are made of a thin fine mesh. I have used felt socks before, and their material is much thicker and they catch more. If you want to wash a felt sock, it's much harder to get the particles out and much more difficult to turn the filter sock inside-out. I'd rather catch a little less debris and have it be easier to clean.
