Yeah, I know. You're all smacking yourselves on the head wishing you had thought of that username.

I have about eighteen pond turtles of different species, some in stock tanks and others in small liner ponds. My biggest problem has always been achieving the proper filtration, but I think I've got that conquered now that I've invested in expensive filtration.

I have some eggs problems and that will be the subject of my first post.

Take care,
Sliderman

Welcome to the forum! No offense, but Sliderman is a little too Marvel comics for me :).

18 turtles produce a ton of waste. You will need some serious filtration. Sounds like the turtles are outsie, so UV Sterilization would be a must too. UV Sterilization will kill algae spores free floating in the water.

Your topic made me think of spiderpig.
sliderpig...sliderpig... does whatever a sliderpig does.


Welcome. What filtration did you end up with?
