My babies knocked them free from the sand/rocks and started rubbing their faces and necks against them like
they were scrubby sponges designed just for them. The water is staying clean longer, the smell has reduced so
much it’s hard to tell I have a turtle tank in the room!
I highly recommend these and already plan to buy more.
