Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hi guys,
I was wondering, does anyone of you use oxygen in your water for your RES.
Is it good to have, does it help in anyway and can they live with out?

??? do you mean like air bubblers? because if you do a lot of us use them. They keep the water moving and sometimes entertain turtles.

Air bubbles are great for any tank. They do more than just move water and l@@k cool. Anyone who has a salt water tank with a protein skimmer like I do knows when the bubble is raising up it will carry small pieces of protein and other microscopic partials to the surface which helps the filter clean the tank. It's a win\win not sure how big your tank is but small to large they have bubble walls even ones that bend. Please keep in mind if you have a filter with a pipe on the bottom keep the bubble wall away from the pipe or it will cause a loud noise from your filter. I have 2 large bubble circles on each end of my tank.
Raising turtles is very rewarding..
