I ordered three of these, are they good? I've heard from some they're good and that they helped and from others that they're not so i bought em to try it out and see for myself.

How about reptisafe , i've heard that that's good. I can use it in conjunction with the reptoguard because i might as well use it since i have it right?

The reptisafe is a water conditioner
It removes chlorine from tap water
It should be used everytime you do a water change

Yes get it

You need to be conditioning your water before you put your turt in it. And, no, you shouldn't just use the reptiguard, because like safdar said, your turtle will build up an immunity to it and then it will be useless for when your turtle actually gets sick. Just save it until you need it, then you won't have to go buy it :D

Reptisafe is a liquid, and there is no need to use the turtle blocks.

The white turtles are a waste of money. Keep the tank water clean with regular changes to help keep your turtle healthy and use cuttlebone to add calcium to his diet. The turtle blocks don't have a form of calcium that's readily useable by your turtle and if they contain sulfa, it's a drug that your turtle can become resistant to with continued use.
