Yes, great tactic. If you have an AquaClear powerhead (quite similar to MaxiJet), there are cylindrical filter adapters designed as an accessory that would work much the same. They fit various sizes of the AquaClear powerheads with adapters provided. Would probably take longer than the maxijet with filter sock for major mess like yours, but similar result if you need some extra, short term mechanical filtration. You can just attach the filter to the powerhead, walk away & let it do it's thing for however long you need. Of course need to check on the filter media from time to time as well, depending on level of contamination.
