Media bags for carbon micron size

I have seen 100 200 800 micron and 3/16 inch bags.

I am looking for one that is not too fine so it clogs, but holds carbon and allows flow in my sump.

any recs?

any velcro enclosures?

Honestly....save the effort and few bucks cost looking for the right bag

running your chosen media actively in a cheap reactor is infinitely more effective than running passively in a bag. Most people have plenty of excess in their return pump flow that you can T off of it with a small ball valve and not even need to employ another pump to run the reactor
