Same here. In fact, one is overflowing now.

This suggestion it gave me an idea, Thank you :)
And to the other input as well, it all helps! When i first made the post i was open to doing either, but came to conclusion i was 98% sure that removing the sock entirely would let too much junk flow into the skimmer intake (pics to follow about what i mean)

Instead of snipping a piece of the plastic i was thinking about drilling smaller holes in order to keep un-eaten pellets out of the rear chamber. Seeing as how i have a 1" return would need to snip or drill about 1 cubic inch worth of the plastic trim out

Here's the sock with emergency cut-out (that I didn't wanna rely on due to salinity issue mentioned earlier)...

Top down view, the wall in between has a 4" hole cut directly in the center of the skimmer screen/intake...

Stuff needed (needle, thread, razor or scissors, and the blue plastic screen used for crafts can't remember the name)

So i dont know if this will work as its supposed to yet, but i dont see why not. I'll do a water change tomorrow and basic maintenance as i would before leaving and then not touch the tank (gonna be hard). Carbon dosing is staying on, fingers crossed

Phos: 0.00 (salifert)
Nitrate 0 (api) I know, API...but its all i have and never worry about nitrate anyway

Will update this in a few weeks

Nice sewing work!
But I don't see the point, as you said the sock will be clogged in 3-4 days and lose it's value anyway, why don't you just not using it at all.
