Works well as a backup filter layer when I need to remove the carbon cartridge. The sponge holds waste effectively and doesn’t clog easily. I use it when adding medications to my tank. Easy to install and fits perfectly over the carbon.

Good quality and fits my AR980 filter perfectly. I’ve used it twice now after removing the carbon for medication. It traps debris well and keeps the water cleaner than before.

The two-pack is convenient. I found it easier to maintain my filter with this wool pad. It’s durable and performs better than the original sponge in heavy waste situations.
