🌟 Advanced Water Polishing & DIY Convenience
-
High-Density Fine Matrix: The tightly interwoven fibers act as a powerful mechanical barrier, catching the finest suspended debris to polish your water to a gin-clear state.
-
100% Cut-to-Fit: Measuring a generous 100cm in length, this versatile roll can be easily cut with standard scissors to perfectly fit any hang-on-back filter, canister, overhead trickle box, or bottom sump.
-
Washable & Reusable: Simply rinse out the trapped dirt during routine maintenance. Replace only when the fibers become too loose or degraded to maintain optimal filtration.
⚠️ Pro Installation & Anti-Overflow Guide (Crucial!)
To prevent accidental water overflows, please follow these Atradesen.com expert tips before placing the cotton into your filter:
-
🚨 PRE-SOAK BEFORE USE: Dry cotton repels water initially! You MUST fully submerge and squeeze the cotton pad in aquarium water BEFORE placing it in your filter box. This breaks the surface tension and ensures water flows through it rather than spilling over the sides.
-
🚨 SHALLOW FILTER BOX HACK: If your overhead filter tray is very shallow, this 3cm thick pad might cause water to overflow. Simply grab the pad and tear it in half horizontally (split the thickness) to create two thinner pads that fit your setup perfectly!
-
Dimensions: Approx. 100cm (L) x 13.5cm (W) x 3cm (H). (Note: Minor thickness/size deviations may occur due to vacuum compression during shipping).
