What makes these filter cottons useful

- Eco-friendly disposal: The cotton material is non-harmful and can be discarded in regular trash without special processing fees, making disposal straightforward after use.
- Compatibility and scope: Suitable for IX-120 and IX-120-U-V tank filters; turtle tank filters of compatible sizes can also accommodate these cotto ns, broadening care options for mixed setups.
