## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have 3 RES turtles, they keep eating this thing in few days. Is that okay?**
A: Yes, it is OK.  My turtles (red ears, maps, and cooters) do that too.  Many years ago, I had 2 map turtles, both of which lived for 26 years, that ate calcium blocks when offered.  The turtles I have now totally consume these blocks in 3 days, and the turtles are growing very fast and have very hard shells.  Apparently, it is instinctive for turtles to consume rich calcium sources  such as this.

**Q: Can I use in fish tank to raise ph?**
A: I do mine

**Q: Can this be used in place of a water conditioning liquid? Does it make water safe for fish as well or do I need a separate water conditioner for fish?**
A: No, It does not take the place of water conditioning liquid. It does not remove chlorine or chloramines. These blocks simply adjust pH and water hardness.

**Q: You you have to have a certain amount of water in the tank to use the Dr. Turtle block?**
A: No but if you're doing a bare bottom tank the block will leave a calcium spot on the glass that I never could seem to completely get off

I know many use the Dr Turtle Slow-Release Calcium Block for other pets, but I just want to note that it's perfect for my Mystery Snail. The water parameters stay at a perfect hardness to keep his shell a beautiful golden color and without pivots, cracks, or marks.
