so im thinking of ordering some biomax, and seachem matrix to put in my 2nd fx5 for my tank..... and im thinking for cleaning purpose's it be easier to have em in a bag to rinse em when needed... what is something that will not restric ANY flow but also keep the media in a bag together lol, something like a fish net kinda thing...panthose are to small for what im thinking ... something that has holes in it just a bit smaller then the media im using
 
Hahaha, no worries :) I don't do laundry so I wouldn't even know they existed haha, are they big or small and were ya buy em ? They aren't pricey are they, holes look kinda tiny too ?

They're dirt cheap judging from the google results. They sell them in my LFS for this purpose with a markup for like $10-15. They stretch a little but the holes are just large enough so that Eheim Substrat Pro doesn't fall through. I use them in my sump for the same purpose full of ceramic rings and Substrat Pro. Don't think they restrict flow at all.

Size varies, although they tend to be fairly large (like, big enough to hold a load of laundry.)

That being said, you don't have to use the whole thing. Just tie it up and put the excess bagging on the side so it's not in the way of flow.
