Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Hello every one I have a 25 gallon tank and a filter for a 50 gallon tank. I'm wondering how often do I have to clean the tank.
I hope benny can live

It depends on the size of your turtles, # of turtles, type of filter (canister, internal, etc) and if you feed inside the tank. With that size tank, I'd normally expect a partial change every week and a full change every 2 weeks.

Just like Steve said, it depends on your turtles, if you are feeding in the tank. I have noticed since feeding Zeke in a different container, his tank is staying a lot cleaner. :-) Much nicer!!
