Habitat - Indoor :: Need help!!!

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Post Posted: Mon Apr 18, 2005 1:43 pm   Need help!!!

I suddenly have foam on the top on the water in Tardy's tank..
It just happened overnight...
I did a complete water change last week...
What's going on?
I really worried.
My Boyfriend said that Tardy's acting fine (I'm at work)
What could be happening?
Please help
ASAP!

Is it just little tiny bubbles? Mine has that too. Mines just depends on what and how high the water from the filter is overflowing.

Is it major foam or just some small bubbles floating around? Small stuff should not be a problem but you could try to scoop it out with a very fine mesh net. Ultimately it is from some impurities in the water. It could be from the container you used to fill your tank.

From what my boyfriend says it's just little bubbles and it hanging around the edge of the tank and around the edges of the floating turtle dock in the tank.
But I will let you know for sure when I get home and I'll upload a picture!
Thanks so Much!

as long as it doesn't look like soapy bubbles, it should be fine. I had soapy like bubbles, and they went away as soon as I cleaned out the filter

Here is a picture

It now looks like air bubbles...
I don't know why I just started getting them, but I'm due to clean my filter next week so should I do it now? or just wait to see if it continues?


Thanks! :)

it's normal, at least for ours it was.
Slasher's tank had that and also disappeared the next day. He's fine..so I assume the bubbles in the water are normal, or something like that... :P
