**NOTE** No purchases have been made, this is an informational inquiry ONLY!



Has anyone any knowledge of whether or not any fishtank type aglaecide is safe to use in turtle tanks, in tank as directed or as a dip for plants/ tank furniture?

I have a "turtle dock" for my Southern Painted's basking site, which is apparently recieving adequate UV lighting, as it turns pretty deep green and or brown every week, regaurdless of how well I scrub it during weekly cleaning. the basking light is on for 8-9 hours a day, and there is no alternate light currently in use. (just so I dont get yelled at, on warm sunny weekends, he has a "pond" he spends his afternoon in whilst his redheaded mom hides in the shade watching)



Any and all information will be helpful and the best care will be taken for my beloved pet, even if it means a third dock is my only option.
