Love this stuff!
By DeborahG on Jan 27, 2020
I got my hatchling Reeves turtle 4 months ago and started using this product maybe a month after Rocket was in his tank. I noticed during weekly water changes with siphoning tool that under his dock where he loves to hang out the water was slimey. Sludge destroyer came to my attention while looking online for a solution. I LOVE this stuff! Water is clear, no slime or smell, and Rocket is happy. I do still clean his tank weekly and do filter changes biweekly even though water is clean in appearance. My Bubby is a healthy, happy, and spoiled turtle!

Helps a little
By Ernie on Oct 17, 2019
My RES is a SLOB and his water gets dirty SO fast even with a high powered filter. This stuff helps keep it a little clearer but I have to use ~a lot~ so I'll probably try to find another water-clear product.

Great for controlling ordor
By Turtle on Aug 12, 2019
Recommend by a fellow turtle lover and many thanks for that. Works great especially since the tank is in MY room, it's the biggest but my nose is very sensitive and this really helps extend time between tank cleaning.

Oh poop.. Disappointed
By Heidi on Jun 15, 2019
This made my turtle tank water cloudy.. It was clear before, hours later cloudy,., and I run 2 filters in her tank at all times. I got this to help keep her tank clean, it looks gross now.. not happy at all..
