BRS Felt Filter Sock with Plastic Ring

Filter Socks are used on overflows to remove small floating particles from aquarium water. This can dramatically improve water quality and reduce maintenance on filters that would otherwise become clogged.

Felt Filter Sock is better at removing particles than mesh but can clog faster. The plastic ring fits common sump holders.
