Im looking for media baskets that fit into 4" holes. I want to use one instead of a filter sock to hold Phosguard. The holes must not allow those tiny pellets to pass thru. Those pellets are a pain to clean out of any sock. Including media bags. 8" to 10" deep would be nice.
Cheers
 
Go to Amazon. Buy nylons. I chose knee highs because they're obviously not going to be used to wear. Dump the phosguard in, tie off the nylon into a compactish ball, cut off the excess nylon. Dump your brand new media bag into the filter sock.

I bought a 12 pack pretty cheap. Under $10.

Good idea. I would like something more permanent. Trying not to put more plastics into the environment.
