Hello,

My children have just received baby water turtles as a gift, we have two and they are very small we currently have a 20 Gallon Fish tank but plan to purchase a 100 gallon in the next 6-7 months. However i always seem to have a hard time keeping the tank clean. We recently changed from a regular power filter that came with the tank.

The water went from dark brownish green to cloudy, but much much clearer. What can i do to keep the water as crystal clear and as healthy as i can for the turtles. also whats better the micron filters or the carbon activated filters.

Thanks for your help

I have a treta repto filter. It is a carbon filter. How do i clean it. Can i just rinse the cartridge through water. I don’t have the money to by one cartilage every week. I May be able to change every other month. Please tell me how i should clean it and when should i change the cartilage. It is going in a 37 gallon turtle tank. Thank you
Will i need the carbon in my tank. I own turtles. If i just rinse the cartilage will the carbon just dissolve. Then i need a new cartilage. Or can i go with out the carbon for my turtles?

Hi, I am in no way new to keeping reptiles (including turtles), but I wanted to ask about the tank size owners of the Mata Mata suggest for a hatchling to an adult? What kind of filtration? PH levels? Gravel or sand? How frequent do you do water changes? Any feeding tips?
Thanks ahead of time.
