How often should I replace the Exo Terra Moss Ball?

Replace with a new Exo Terra Moss Ball every two months for maximum effectiveness.

What size terrariums does the Moss Ball treat?

The Moss Ball treats 10-20-gallon (30-60 L) terrariums/aqua-terrariums.

Does the Moss Ball help with deodorizing aquatic turtle terrariums?

Yes, the Moss Ball is an easy and effective deodorizer for aquatic turtle terrariums.

Can i put them in with my African dwarf frog? He's 7 years old and I am very particular with him.

These do not have charcoal in them, they are moss.

Can I put forrest moss in a baby turtle tank?

I've had them in my turtle tanks over 20 years... NEVER had a problem.

How often do I change the moss?

I change ours every two weeks for our turtle.

I've used these alot but my turtle keeps ripping into them, are they safe if they bite them?

Once you see it getting ripped up remove it, will not hurt the turtle. Think about adding a cuttlebone or gravel on the bottom for turtle to chew.

Would anyone happen to know why it turned my tank water green? Our tank is outside, could that be why?

You need more plants to control algae. I live in Texas. I have a 100 gallon galvanized steel tank crystal clear water all year. Blue dye will help control algae and keep birds etc from eating your fish. Hornswart is one of the best plants for your fish and algae issues. I have several moss balls in my tank of various ages and sizes. Fish seem to like them. Do not use any fertilizer for your plants or you will get pea soup green water. Algae will bloom like crazy. Filters like a sponge filter is great. Keeps the water moving oxygen air for fish. I have a pond de icer for winter. I use the dirty mucky fish water to water my plants and yard. You need to do a water change every month. If you use potting soil ,get the dollar store stuff and cat litter. Line the container so no soil leeches out or use a fabric container top soil with rinsed kitty litter and rocks. The more moss balls you have the better the water quality for the fish.

Will this work for a fresh fish tank just for fish?

Yes it will, you will see this item sold under different labels. Betta, fish, turtle, terrarium. They work well controlling odor.

Why in the description/target audience does it say only for reptiles? Fish isn't included in there?

It's not real moss so inappropriate for fish who might try to eat the synthetic fur. It's really a bad smell absorbent. I recommend finding REAL moss. Do not buy this.

Is it supposed to float or sink?

Mine floats, won't sink at all.

Exo Terra PT2478 Bedding Editorial Review

The Exo Terra Moss Ball is an artificial plant designed for use in aqua-terrariums. It is a piece of cloth wrapped around a synthetic core, resembling a cat toy. While some customers reported positive results in terms of water clarity, others experienced issues such as the ball turning the tank water green and murky. It is important to note that this product is intended for use in reptile habitats only and is not suitable for fish tanks. Overall, the reception of the Exo Terra Moss Ball has been mixed.

Pros

Fast delivery
Helps keep water clear in turtle tanks
Durable and long-lasting

Cons

Artificial material, not real moss
May turn tank water green and murky
Not effective in controlling odor
