TetraFauna ReptoGuard Turtle Health Conditioner
TetraFauna ReptoGuard Turtle Health Conditioner is a slow-release medicated block that helps keep aquatic turtle habitats cleaner and healthier. As it dissolves, it releases sulfa-based active ingredients that help control disease-causing organisms in the water, including salmonella, supporting the well-being of your turtle and safer handling for you. It also works in habitats for aquatic amphibians and reptiles.

How It Works
- Time-release sulfa block dissolves gradually, dispersing active ingredients throughout the water for continuous treatment.
- Helps control disease-causing organisms, including salmonella, to reduce the spread of illness in the habitat.
- Long-lasting: each block treats up to 20 gallons and lasts up to 2 months.
- Easy maintenance for a cleaner, healthier turtle environment between water changes.
How to Use
- Place one block inside your filter or directly in the water.
- Replace about every 2 months, or sooner once the block has fully dissolved.
- ReptoGuard does not remove chlorine. When using tap water, also treat with a reptile and amphibian water conditioner to neutralize chlorine and chloramine.
