The water is certainly clearer with socks, I would love to be in a position to get a couple of days out of a pair, I get 1 day most out of a pair of 7inch wide, 14 inch long ? I'm return pump does appear to be more active than I need though. 3200 gallons per hour, with 2 WP 60 powerheads, I certainly turn the water over enough for a fowlr tank. I am considering ramping down to 600gph to try and reduce the flow and socks

In my experience I run a BB with up to 8,000 gph in a 125 and detritus does not settle in my tank. If I did not run a sock on one of the returns I would all kinds of crap blowing around. I clean it out every night and it gets pretty nasty, and I believe it allows my skimmer to work better as it doesn't suck any of that up. Also I already have to turn pumps off to be able to feed so losing food is no issue.
