The boys are enjoying their new home. I provided them basking area, I feed them twice a day, the filter is on 24 X 7, the Ultra Violet light is turned 12-14 hours a day. I clean the tank every week and change water. Like Aquarium Is it possible to have a substrate layer with nitrifying bacteria that will break down ammonia and clean the water for the turtle in a tank like this?
