Has anyone ever heard of these or used them? They seem like a cool idea to use in my freshwater sump. Aquarium Filter Media: Lifegard Aquatics BioMate Filter Media Balls

Did you pick them up? I'm wondering if water would tend to flow around them?

Nah I just saw them on that website they seemed like a cool idea. In trying to see if anyone has used them before. The most exciting feature is that it would prevent clogging, but I'm worried it would be less efficient at cleaning. Also, if the foam balls actually trap trash and if they are easy to open. Then if the insides have to be replaced or just washed off.
