I have tried the media in a filter sock and it just doesn't work well. It is also messy imo.
i do love my vertex carbon reactor and so effective.
You shouldn't have a new cycle if you place your rock in the dt while you transfer. If anything your tank will be more stable with the refuge.

Any thoughts on putting media in your filter socks?
