I just done a water change on my 40 gallon tank. I took about 3/4 of the water out. It is filled back up and everything is running (pump ect...) Water purifier is in.. Now how long do I need to wait to put Turbo back in? I know The temp must be right but other than that do I need to wait a certain amount of time?

You should be able to put her right back in. Unless the water is freezing or way way to hot. In the 68-70 to 80ish range would be fine! :)

Put him back in when the temp is warm enough for him. Other than that, you don't need to wait.

If it's normally at 75-78F and it's now 80F, you could have put him in a little while ago. :)

When you're a deadite skeleton, life isn't filled with a lot of options. So they make the best of it by playing dead – Which is why we like to introduce them to Mr. Shotgun, who doesn't give them the opportunity to pretend there anything but Chalk.
