Paper Tea bags are designed to be submerged for only a few minutes and then discarded.

I'm certain that they would disintegrate quite quickly in salt water causing an awful mess.

I agree thank you these midnight shifts have my brain fuzzy ill see my way out!
 
I needed a small amount for my 22g and I used a tea bag to contain the GFO and placed that in a small mesh bag. I had the bag in there for 3 weeks and it was fine.
 
I've been putting Rox 0.8 carbon in tea bags, the dropping them in a sicce shark pro filter for a long time. They don't disintegrate :thinking-face:.

lol. Learn something every day :)
 
tea bags are just way too small, my fat fingers would not even be able to work with that.

On amazon you can mesh baggies of any size, I typically use 4"x4" or 4"x6", much easier to work with, and it cost about 10$ for 60+ of them.
 
These work also. Cut what you need and knot it. They definatly don't deteriate. I have my ato float switch enclosed in one for several years to keep snails and debris out. Also have used them for carbon. Just tossing it out there as an option available almost anywhere. Screenshot_20230622_065447_Walmart.jpg
