{"product_id":"zoo-med-dr-turtle-slow-release-calcium-block","title":"Zoo Med Dr Turtle Slow Release Calcium Block","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small block that sits in a turtle's water and does two jobs as it slowly dissolves: it neutralises acidic water, and it releases dissolved calcium. Two ingredients, calcium sulfate and magnesium chloride — nothing else. It is a supplement, not a substitute for the things that actually build shell: a calcium-adequate diet, UVB lighting and proper basking temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20–24% calcium\u003c\/strong\u003e — released gradually into the water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeutralises acidic water\u003c\/strong\u003e — conditions the tank at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo dosing required\u003c\/strong\u003e — drop it in and let it go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalcium sulfate, magnesium chloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the block in the turtle's water.
