Wow, I’ve had my turtle 7 years now and have NEVER heard of cleaning the filter in the water change tank water. I knew about not using soaps and stuff but never about the tap water itself. I’m going to start trying this. You never stop learning when it comes to pets. Thanks so much
I used to keep fish a very long time ago, and it was common advice/practice for fish. I'm just surprised this is recommended for turtles, and I've also had my turtle for like 2 years now and never really did this (I recently acquired a 100 gallon aurora canister filter which is working wonders for my 11 inch red ear slider)! But I will do as she says, sounds like she will be healthier anyhow.
@@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla I know this is from a year ago...but...do you still use the same canister filter/do you recommend that brand? I am on the hunt for a canister filter and I can only find any with reviews that say it stops working a few months to a few years later or says that they leak.
@@ninjapiratess I bought the Polar Aurora on March 2020, this is the one: "Polar Aurora Free Media 265GPH / 370GPH / 525GPH External Aquarium Filter with Builtin Pump Kit Canister" that thing is still going strong, ZERO LEAKS. I have a red-ear slider female turtle and she's huge, about 5 years old now. She's bigger than a football now.
@@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla Ha I thought I already replied to this, oops! I will definitely keep that model in mind whenever I have the money to move my turtle up to a 90 gal! Right now he's in a 55 gal and I just ordered an Aquaclear filter for a 60-110 gal which should be 100x better than the Zilla aquatic internal filter I've had for over a year. It works okay but it's very bulky and the suction cups no longer work so I've had to always keep it propped up with rocks. I'm looking forward to more media for filtration!
After watching all your tips and advice on how to care and look after turtles I have to come to the conclusion that I am financially and mentally capable to own a turtle for its life span, wish me luck! Thank you for everything
11:33 you can use salt to clean up the aquarium. After you've cleaned it up just wash the salt off and here you go! The most natural, healthiest and efficient way to clean the turtle's aquarium.
I have had my turtle for 14 years. Yes since I was 4. All we have ever done is just, taken everything out every month or two, and cleaned everything. And the filter. And let him walk around the house a few times a week for exercise. Never done much of this fancy stuff. But, everyone else I know who has owned this kind of turtle has never lived this long. So surely I’m doing something right.
Little tip for people who don't have the hand pump siphon, if you fill the tube with water from a tap 1st, when you put it in the tank and remove your thumb from the end of the pipe it will siphon without the need to suck the tube.
I'm getting all the supplies I need for my first turtle so I came here so I could know what I need for cleaning. Now I'm subscribed because I learned things that no other site has told me. Turtle Girl is a genius.
I got a little turtle for my daughter couple weeks ago. For now I’m cleaning it every week changing the water completely. I’m a bit paranoid since I learned that turtles might spread salmonella, and the main cause seems to be living in the same water with their waste. I’ll be doing 30% changes weekly from now on. Watching the video I see you don’t worry much about all this gross dirty water dripping all over the place like I do either 😀 Looks like I need to reduce my cleanliness expectations and stop worrying about it so much :)
I’m like you. My partner brought 2 turtles home and I’m paranoid about the risk of salmonella. I have been extra cautious. I wear gloves ans disinfect everything.
You speak with such elegance and clarity. I have been watching so many videos on cleaning tanks just now and it feels like students trying to hit their word limit, just exta / repetition talking. While your video has been the longest, you're not repeating yourself and you keep my attention. Thank you for the information. Just subbed in 2021. Hope you keep making videos. ^__^
i inherited a mature red eared slider from my brother. Wrekx is such a sweetie and doesn't trust me very well, but that's to be expected. i noticed algae growing on the walls and heater, and that the heater is insufficient for keeping his tank warm. just subscribed and will be using your guides to help me care for him. thank you so much for putting these videos out for the world. I'd be so lost without them.
@@TheTurtleGirl Im getting my 7 yr old daughter a razorback musk turtle for her bday and your channel helped me a lot. Ive had reptiles like chameleons geckos etc but never a turtle. Im looking up black diamond sand for my substrate now as I live very close to a tractor supply. Lots of people use it for aquariums so i am assuming its safe for turtles as well. Any experience with that specific brand?
Thank you so much for this video, I’m really to turtle ownership and this video showed me a couple things that I have been doing wrong😔 I have been rinsing my filter under tap water, thinking I’m keeping it clean, and I have also been replacing 100% of the water durning water changes. Ugh, but I will now go by your instructions😊 Thank you so much 🐢🐢

Great video and u seem very knowledgeable , before I saw ur video I seen others that said rinse the filter thru tap water . But I’m glad to hear a 2nd opinion :)
Turtle girl can you please do a turtle routine video where you show what you do for your turtles every day? It would be really helpful and nice to know your routines and things!
older video, however ur siphon link led me to a purchase for one THANKS for the info and when it arrives i hope it helps me keep some junk off bottom of my tank and aids in water changing =) tytyty ( new turtle owner )
I have a tortoise, so most of the things you talk about are irrelevant bu I still watch ur videos because it is so entertaining ❤️ your turtles a beautiful by the way x
I don’t know if it’s been said, but you can start a siphon without a pump by filling the hose and bending the end to keep the water in. Then pull the hose down into the bucket (still bent) and release it to drain. That eliminates the need to suck the water through the siphon
Thank you!! For sharing your knowledge.. I purchase Michael Angelo.. at the size of an quarter.. now he is 4hrs.. no idea how he survived.. but now I have knowledge.. thank you..
Thank you so much for making all these educational videos! It has really helped a lot since I got my red eared slider from a golf course two years ago.
I have a planted tank and haven’t done a water change in a month and I recommend once a week while your tank is still getting on its feet but in my opinion after a year of your tank being set up you don’t need to do water changes unless you want your tank to look cleaner which will be necessary when you get a beautiful planted tank like a Japanese style which is what I’m setting up in a few months I’m collecting funds currently
@@dayanamata1163 I will have a video up when i start I recommend the first place to start would be the dry goods ie C02 setup ada soil ada rimless tank ada light it will be expensive but worth the investment you dont have to use ada good like for beginners of planted tanks i recommend fluval stratum and a cheap rimless tank with a solid filter and a solid C02 setup but weekly waterchanges would be neccesary for something of this scale because of the expensive fish and plants that would be used especially in an iwagumi style or dutch style which are my favorites.
My sister gave me her turtle a few months ago and I am still learning. Coming to UA-cam for a lot of advice! Thank you so much for posting. I look forward to your other videos. Do you not have to completely empty the tank? I still have a smaller tank that I need to upgrade but even it's smaller size I struggle trying to carry even without water lol. A pump works wonderfully - and at the beginning I did not have one. Recently I've had to change the water a few times (I think tomorrow when I plan on cleaning the tank it'll be the 3rd time in a month) the water keeps getting foamy and dark. I have big rocks for Cecil to get on and I'm starting to think it's those. Last time I changed the tank one rock was turning black. I saw that magnet thing you used to clean the tank at PetSmart today and now I see that it is an awesome thing that I need to get. Your turtle is so cute!
If you have a siphon that doesn't have a pump don't suck on it. There is a trick. Submerge the whole tube and make sure all the air is out. Then use your thumb to cover one end while it's still in the water (make sure no air can leak back in cause it won't work). Take the covered end out and put it into the bucket. Make sure the other end stays under water. Take your thumb off and water should flow, As long as you have the bucket lower then the tank. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm not a good explainer.
Trick :- you don't need any syphon pipe. Any normal pipe ca do the work. Step 1 :- any pipe with the size of syphon pipe or longer. Step 2 :- hold one side of the pipe to your filters outlet. Step 3 :- put another side of the pipe to any bucket/container. Step 4 :- After holding pipe to your outlet of the pipe to 5 to 10 seconds. Drop the pipe instantly to the tank water and see the magic. (Please note :- your filter should be on when you connect your pipe to outlet and switch off the filter before water level decreases) I use this tick everytime. It is very simple trick. You don't need to invest money in syphon pipe & save your money.
Make sure you have a filter powerful enough to clean turtle waste. Fish waste are MUCH less. Also, be sure you’re conditioning the water or using purified water (directly from the tap without any conditioning is toxic to turtles, anyway).
im thinking of getting a turtle from my friends pond...but im still not 100 percent sure its for me but this channel really helps with everything turtle owners need to know! thank you so much for doing this
So you only change half the water? When do you do this? Bout once a month? And do you not everrrr change your filters then? Also can you put different turtles together? Sry got sooo many questions..only had our turtle for 3 weeks..so this week ima need to clean the tank
When I clean out my water how do I know which water to use? I fill up bottles of water with sink water and wait until I need to use it. What ph Cleveland should the water be?
Hi turtle girl thanks for all the videos on how to care for these little guys. Should I be concerned that my red ear slider gets really active when I change the water? And thanks for the tips to cleaning their tank I feel like I will save money on the fillers
I have a question. Is the Diamondback musk turtle a nice turtle to have? I have a red eared slider juvenile turtle that I am rehabbing since she got catch in my pond water recycling pump and it tore one of her claws off. She is doing well in a tank now. But after watching your videos I see this turtle and love how much it swims. It’s so relaxing to watch. Almost like watch a fish tank. Just wondering your thoughts. Also the pet store guy told me his friend breeds them and that can go up to $1000 in price. Is that true
Thanks so much for this video! I have a red ear red slider in a 55 gal tank. I have been having trouble keeping my tank from smelling so much. I also notice there’s plenty of guck that gets caught up in the rocks and I have to pump that out maybe every 3 days. I must be doing something wrong. Can you help? Also the filter I have is a Marineland filter for 150 gal. Is this the correct type of filter?
My turtle is 3 years old almost 4 and is already outgrown his 25 gallon tank so now we are planning to make him a indoor pond. (he needs a 40-50 gallon tank/tub if I do the carapace measuring rule)
What's your water change schedule?! lmk down below!

I’m new at this. I just bought a tank, filter and the basics for my turtles on Sunday and by TUESDAY, the water was already dirty. How come ? 🧐
I have a sterilization light in my tank it helps the water clear

Make sure you have a filter powerful enough to clean turtle waste. Fish waste are MUCH less. Also, be sure you’re conditioning the water or using purified water (directly from the tap without any conditioning is toxic to turtles, anyway).
I think it's because it sounds like you have multiple turtles, your tank would get dirtier "X" the amount of turtles you have, much faster
tysm you may have just saved my turtles life
Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Peace, love and blessing's

I also notice there’s plenty of guck that gets caught up in the rocks and I have to pump that out maybe every 3 days. I must be doing something wrong. Can you help? Also the filter I have is a Marineland filter for 150 gal. Is this the correct type of filter?
My turtle is 3 years old almost 4 and is already outgrown his 25 gallon tank so now we are planning to make him a indoor pond. (he needs a 40-50 gallon tank/tub if I do the carapace measuring rule)
Thanks! Yes I would like to see a video on nitrogen cycle ;)
I tried to look it up but i don't understand anything
Cool turtle! It reminds me of dragon fruit
