General Care Discussion :: algae on shell

Oh, sorry about that.

I was talking about using the blade on the glass of the tank...lol And yes take them out before you use it.

20 years now I never used soap on any tank. To remove Algae just use a razor blade or buy a Algae scraper from the pet store.

I'd be really wary of using a razor blade, especially on a bigger turtle where their quick movements could be a little more surprising! I wouldn't want to end up slipping and slicing into some scutes.

But, as I'm a new turtle owner and you've owned one for 20 years....you might know better.
