It absorbs phosphate, nitrite and nitrate from the water column, so it works on what's actually clouding and souring the water rather than masking the smell. Drop it into the water section of a 30–60 L setup and replace it roughly every two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbs phosphate, nitrite and nitrate\u003c\/strong\u003e — the resin core traps the compounds that cloud water and cause odour as waste breaks down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSized for 30–60 L\u003c\/strong\u003e — matches typical aqua-terrarium and turtle-tank water volumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLooks like a natural moss ball\u003c\/strong\u003e — sits in the water section without looking like equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo plumbing or power\u003c\/strong\u003e — drop it in; no filter, pump or wiring involved.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater clarity and odour control media, moss-ball form\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePT2478\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRated volume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30–60 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReplacement interval\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately every 2 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for the water section of freshwater aqua-terrariums and turtle tanks in the 30–60 L range, as a supplement to your existing water changes and filtration — it's an absorption media, not a substitute for either. Not suitable as the only water-quality control for heavily stocked or heavily fed tanks: a moss ball this size can't keep pace with waste that outstrips 60 L worth of absorption capacity, and it doesn't provide biological filtration the way a filter does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace with a new Moss Ball roughly every two months for maximum effect. A tank running dirtier water, or sitting near the top of the 30–60 L range, will use up the resin's capacity faster — if clarity or odour starts creeping back before the two-month mark, replace it sooner rather than waiting it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour aqua-terrarium or turtle tank filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA water conditioner\/dechlorinator for top-ups and water changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gravel or substrate cleaner for the water section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered by your rights under Australian Consumer Law as a packaged aquatic accessory.
