General Care Discussion :: Turtle Poo-Stravaganza

[NicoleBell]

How do you clean all of the turtle poop out of the bottom of your tanks? The filters just make it into little piles of poo particles and i am having a heck of a time trying to keep it clean. Any suggestions on the best way to De-Poop my tank in an efficient manner?

I have an XP2 Cannister as well as an in tank filter for carbon.

I use a battery operated vaccum thing, it's great for picking up those lite poo piles. You can also suck them out with a siphon, good for when you want to do a water change anyway.

I use one of those battery powered vacs too. I clean the bottom of the tank every morning. Here's a link to where they are sold. I love mine.

By the way, I buy a couple dozen bags at a time and when they start getting disgusting to look at I just throw the old one away and get a new one.
