Huh? I am pretty sure mine removes the waste from my tank before it hits the sump. I am not too keen on swirling waste around to be pumped back in to my tank. Really I am sure the 15 seconds every other day I spend to change mine over isn't that time consuming. Anyways to each there own, but don't hack socks they do a good job if used correctly.
