A water treatment, not a food — it seeds a turtle habitat with biological flora that digest the solid organic waste a turtle setup produces, which in turn keeps odour down and takes some load off the filter. Read what it does not do before you buy: this is not a dechlorinator. It will not strip chlorine, chloramines or heavy metals out of tap water, and Exo Terra sells Aquatize for that job. On a new setup you want both, and Turtle Clean is the ongoing weekly one.
Two sizes, 120ml and 250ml (Exo Terra items PT1998 and PT1999). It earns its keep most in a hatchling or juvenile tank, where twice-daily feeding of Hatchling or Juvenile Floating Pellets leaves the most waste behind. More Exo Terra water care and habitat gear is in our Exo Terra collection.
Features
- Fully biological — a 100% biological formula with plant extracts and essential oils, rather than a chemical clarifier.
- Breaks down solid waste — targets the organic load from feeding, shedding and general habitat use.
- Reduces odour — works on the source of the smell instead of masking it.
- Supports the filter — less accumulated organic matter means the filter is not doing all the work alone.
Directions for Use
Shake well before using. Dose 5ml per 38 litres (10 US gallons) of water. Apply at initial set-up, then repeat weekly as a maintenance treatment. Exo Terra does not publish a full ingredient breakdown beyond plant extracts and essential oils, so we have not listed one.
