Then after awhile the sponges and featherdusters are growing in there so it won't really matter. and if you are feedng the tank with filter food the crap clogs up the sock so i took mine off. i use mine for cleaning the phosban when i add new stuff or the carbon in the sump.....

Yeah that was mentioned in the thread I was reading...they filter out good stuff too, like corals food.

Both of you are kind of saying the same thing, I think I may try going without them for a bit.
