Treat the water with ReptiSafe. It removes chlorine and other stuff.

I don't smoke inside because of the turtles. It's not good for us, so it can't be good for them. Same goes for dogs/cats and kids. I had a friend who's father smoked 2 packs a day. Their dog got emphysema.

I can't see the pictures, it says I have to log in, but if I do, it will take me to my pictures. You can copy the picture's url and post it here instead of posting the url for the album, also, if you have set your album as "private" , we won't be able to see it, you would have to make your album "public".

Wat is reptisafe? I dont treat my water with anything, i thought it is ok. Is reptisafe that stuff that adds electrolites into the water. i have always wondered if i needed that.

It removes chlorine and adds calcium and some other stuff. I'm not at home or I'd check the bottle. Chlorine is bad for your turts. Go get some water conditioner.

I use something similar, but as far as I know, the one I use does not treat for chlorine, it has vitamins and minerals to keep your turtle healthy, I don't know about yours.

I like your turtle dock BTW :D

The white block is not a dechlorinator, I think it's supposed to be a preventative against fungus (and, I think, a waste of money). Also look for something called Nova Aqua by Kordon.
