can you use chlorine conditioner for a turtle like you can for a fish? Cause if i use bottled water every time i clean the tank it will start to cost alot of money.

Chlorine conditione is the drops that take the chlorine out of the water.

Yes you can, the basic conditioners down your pet stores fish isle are just fine and if they have the reptile specific conditioners then even better... but you dont have to. I have never dechlorinated my turtles water. Some people say it irritates their eyes, but Ive never had any problems, my turtles are happy and healty. Its cheaper, easier and it helps control the algae. Basiacly, conditioners arent really overkill if thats what you want to do, but theyre not necissary either.

I guess you can , but ill rather not risk it, cause when i do it my turtles blink ALOT and scratch their eyes . I would use tap water and let it sit for like a day or so
but if you wanna use chlorine thats fine also

NO! It hurt the turtles eyes and skin. Filter the water. No mater what you do, you're still going to end up changing the water sometimes. Take from a guy with experience! :)

Yes. Too much of anything will be harmful for animals and even people. Even though chloride is a widely known element..it is still very powerful.
