Filter sock or no filter sock?

I've been using a filter sock on one of my overflows for about 9 months now, and I could never go without it now. Love that crystal clear water!

I voted yes but I actually use floss ahead of the skimmer not a sock. There is not a practical place to attach a sock on this AIO ahead of the skimmer.

I have used a sock on the skimmer output to lessen microbubbles. It sort of worked but I think I will try again with a different sock.

I only use one when i know that i am going to create a big dirt storm in the DT by doing some aquascaping or something. I only leave it in for a day or so. Normally i run without one.
