it doesnt really do anything. it can actually make a turtle become immune to a sulfa dip so if they ever actually need one it wont help. the only thing i add to my water is reptisafe

I used it once and my turtles keep nipping it, so I threw it away, the only good benefit is it lowers salmonella, but thats y they make soap and water, so yea it's pretty much a waste

I am glad you asked this because I have been using it since I started my turtle tank. Guess I will stop now. I dont understand why pet stores sell stuff that is harmfull to them (this stuff, and the turtle wax stuff etc...)

I was planning on reducing its use anyways cause one of my turtles mistaked it for cuttlebone I believe and was going to town on it, I had to take it out anyways haha.
