Maintenance

 

 Yes the favorite part of any turtle lover (hehehe). This is probably the most difficult part of any turtle fanatic. For me, it take about 1-2 hour to clean it will probably take longer if you have a larger tank or if you put gravel. 60% of cleaning is cause by gravel so I recommend that you shouldn't add gravel. But if you don't mind taking a longer time to clean the tank then it up to you. For cleaning I recommend a vacuum ( shown at the bottom ). Another vacuum is the Python No Spill Clean and Fill Kits (shown above ) . It a normal vacuum that hook up to a faucet and take out the dirty water and then fill with fresh water. This save a lot of time and mess because you don't have to pour it into a bucket and dump it out.
