Review on Optimize Your Filtration with Seachem's The Bag Filter Media Bag by Kristi Crooks

The bag is really well made - it doesn't fall apart like cheaper bags and bleach doesn't seem to affect this. But - they are expensive. I found a little trick to randomly get 2 bags in one. The pockets are way bigger than I need so I wanted to shorten them a bit. As I was about to cut it open, I realized the bag was actually plastic. I was wondering if I could seal it with one of those Press N Seal machines. So I cut the bag in half - the bottom half is already sealed. This way you only have to seal the top half. Well voila - it works. The seal holds up well. What happened is that the bag is now too small to easily close the drawstring (the bag is a bit stiff and doesn't close as easily as a cloth bag). But you can fold the top of the bag over twice and then use one of those plastic clips that people use to seal potato chip bags. Surprisingly everything works great. I've been using bags this way for about 6 months and haven't had any problems.
