I'd like to know how you get those SAKs

lol
I may have interest in the bow if it is not compound.
Thanks so much for the offer. There is a couple of those items (filtration) that I have Interest in but for the most part we've purchased everything, or at least I hope everything that we need.
There is an amazing lack of good information on aquatic turtles out there on the internet. Any any experience tips from someone whose kept a health turtle for long periods would be nice.
I'm an experienced fish keeper and have been treating his water line that of my fish and looking at it from that perspective for health and good quality. I have an established filter medium in with him to keep amonia and nitrites out of the water and conditionjng it with PRIME.
The biggest question in my mind right now is about these sulfa tabs people are putting in their water for turtles to kill bacteria/reduce salmonella, prevent pitting In the shells and deter infection. I feel like the sulfa would harm my beneficial bacteria and thros off the nitrogen cycle in the tank. So are these tabs really nessacary or would keeping the water in ideal conditions mixed with routine water changes/gravel vacumming suffice?
Or is there some real need for bacteria to be killed in a turtle tank?
Email me and we can talk.
