General Care Discussion :: Turtle Block Conditioners

[ypp]

Greetings!

I have a few questions and would appreciate any answers that can provided.
At my local pet stores they stock several different kinds of turtle conditioners that range in price from about $2-$4 CAD.

I was wondering what exactly they do, and which if any is better than the others.

The one that is most prominent is this one. This was the first one I bought but it disintegrated very quickly.

These I've found, but in far less stores.

Nutrafin Basix Turtle Conditioner ($3) Link
Wardley's ($2) Link

Thank you for any input.

They don't really do much...It's sort of wasting your money.

I don't think they do anything positive for your tank, most people on here don't buy them.

[urbancleopatra]

Yeah they're worthless... don't worry about them.

Put your money into something more worthwhile for your turtle. Having a good filter, regular tank cleanings and water changes along with a good diet and habitat will keep your turtle healthy without turtle blocks.
