Above the surface of the water near the water line of my turtle's aquarium are these annoying little white spots. They look like hard water spots. I am SO sick of looking at them at no matter how much i wipe them off they come right back. I'm already using Exo-Terra Biotize to help get rid of waste. What's the best way to get rid of them and what conditioner should i use to prevent them?

It sounds like you have calcium build up. Use vinegar, it breaks down the calcium. Make sure to remove all the water, turtles, etc from the tank first. Prepare a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and use a rag to apply to white area. Let it sit for a few minutes and then scrub it off. Make sure to rinse well before putting stuff back in the tank.
Hope this helps.
