Filter Socks (Large 8x18)

Hi,
I currently use the large Premium 8"x18" filter socks from CustomAquariums. They are fairly expensive ($20 each if you buy 5) although I don't mind the price as much as the ridiculous shipping costs. To ship 15 of them (total weight of less than 2 pounds)...they charge $60 for S&H.

I have been trying to find another supplier (scoured the internet for hours) that has this size (4" Ring, 8" x 18") but I cannot find them anywhere except Custom Aquariums. Maybe they are the only ones...but hoping not.

Has anybody used these and/or found a different supplier?

Thank you.
Steve

Bulk reef supply has a lot but I didn't see the larger size at first glance, plenty of the smaller though, as well as 7x16. I didn't look through all results though. I'd suggest checking the 'reef' sites if you weren't looking at those specifically. Good luck.

Hi ... I’m new to hobby but I think this is what you’re looking for.
The owner, Cory, is very knowledgeable and posts a lot of vids on YouTube ( where I’ve learned a lot)
I snapped a pic
You can input “filter bag” in search bar

Thank you for your response. But that is a media bag and not the sock filter.

Well, that’s embarrassing.
Let me try to redeem myself.
Here’s another place I buy from ...

Was anyone able to find alternative 8x18 filter socks? I'm having the same issue. Overall I've had good success with custom aquarium but their base shipping is expensive.
