Clean Pond!

So I took some pics of my water turtles today. The ponds had an algea bloom for a little while and I felt kind of guilty today becasue I posted a pic of two turtles. So I cleaned it!

Dirty pond = (


Look at this beast


Clean!






Thanks guys!

RE: Clean Pond!

Green water is a b*tch!!
the only way I know to beat it is a ultra violet sterilizer.

yeah i don't like the turtles either. Totally different animal!!



ps I would bet that the turts like the green water better

RE: Clean Pond!

lol I know what you are talking about with the beady eyes! Yeah turtles are really cool , and fun to keep. I would never breed them though. Tortoises are cool to breed.

RE: Clean Pond!

I like turtles, I think there cool. Like your pond. My little one is only a 35 gal pond (has one gold fish and three minnows) had its algea bloom and I got it cleaned this week too.
My daughter has the Turtles 4 RES. She's talking to her husband about building a pond for them. They are still pretty small. I'll show her your pics, I think this is just what they need. Not a cement pond her husband was thinking about making. Thanks for the idea
