API Turtle Sludge Destroyer introduces a specialized blend of beneficial bacteria into your aquarium or turtle tank. These bacteria naturally break down organic matter such as turtle waste, uneaten food, and decaying plant material, reducing sludge accumulation over time. By digesting these harmful substances, the product not only clears the water but also prevents unpleasant odors and helps maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem in the tank. Directions for Use Dosage: Add 1 ml per 2 gallons of aquarium or vivarium water. Alternatively, use 1 tsp per 10 gallons for larger tanks. Extremely Dirty Tanks: In heavily soiled aquariums, you can safely double the dosage for a stronger cleaning effect. Application: Dose the tank weekly or after performing a water change for consistent maintenance. Frequency For optimal results, API Turtle Sludge Destroyer should be used once a week. You can also dose it during or after water changes to maintain a clean and healthy environment. In cases where sludge build-up is excessive, increase the frequency and dosage to twice weekly until conditions improve. Consistency The product comes in liquid form, which is easily dispersible in water. Make sure to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the bacteria are evenly distributed throughout the liquid. The bacteria work best in aquariums with consistent water flow, so leave your filter on during application. Side Effects API Turtle Sludge Destroyer is generally safe for all aquatic life, including turtles, fish, and plants, when used according to the recommended dosage. However, over-application may temporarily cloud the water as the bacteria work to digest excess waste. This is normal and will clear up after a short period.
