Hi,

Well yes this is the section where people with aquatic chelonia would post - but there aren't really all that many of them active on here. Even compared with the number of other chelonia keepers. So a two day wait for an answer isn't a personal affront that requires chastisement so much as an indication that nobody who knows the answer has visited the section.

Whereas in the fish keeping section virtually everyone will be using a filter of some description and will have ways of cleaning it.

Be that a chemical solution or a high pressure system or simply a physical solution forced down the tube.

But hey, feel free to take any advice or not.
