Highlighted Reviews
"The flow through is surprisingly good for being such a fine mesh. It is perfect for small resin media and large bio rocks. I am buying a few more now and holding out hope that Chewy starts carrying the Seachem Zipper Bag too!"
"I used "The Bag" once and it split at the corner on the bottom. I was using carbon in salt water."
Bottom Line
The bag is a decent choice for aquarium filters, but durability issues and sizing concerns make it less ideal. The feedback on the durability is very poor.
