NaBarney Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Don't change the filter medium once a week. Read about biological filtration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuggnificent Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Don't change the filter medium once a week. Read about biological filtration. i did read about the healthy bacteria and all that jazz. theres a little dirty mesh that sits next to the filter that i keep in there and dont clean but i have to take out the actual filter because it gets so dirty water stops passing through it and overflows the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 With a good filter you shouldn't have to change it once a week i'd think.. Most of the contammination is going to be from left over bit's of food. Don't overfeed, and once it's done feeding you can net out the leftovers before they break up and that'll help keep the water liveable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Also you got a uv lamp right? Like I said in your other thread about this. The turtle wont be able to grow, or even live very well without some direct uv rays daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
