Filter Intake Question

Does this really work well? I am finding that whenever any of my live plants breaks off a leaf, etc., it goes straight to the filter intake. All of my intakes are always coated with something (especially that nasty Java Moss!). I am also worried about guppy fry being sucked into it. Just wondering what other folks do and if the pantyhose really lets enough through to get everything running good.
