I got a couple from Bulk Reef Supply, along with some socks that I am pretty happy with.

Even cheaper solution... Go to the local store for plumbing supplies, get a 4" "T" (looks more like a r ) On the top, slice out half of the upper fitting and you have yourself a hang on filter sock holder.

Here's a link with someone else's, where I got the idea from.

I like it! I think it would work better than the ones from BRS too :)

Here is my design. I fabricated out of 3/8'' PVC. I have the machine shop at work cut the hole for me but a router with a straight bit would work as well. This bracketed made to hang on the divider in my sump, that is why the one side has a short notched bracket on it.

This is what I use, works great, but takes up a bit of room
