Exo Terra Turtle Clean 120ml
A weekly dose of the biological flora your turtle tank's filter runs on. Exo Terra Turtle Clean is a 100% biological habitat cleaner for aquatic turtle tanks – beneficial bacteria and plant extracts, dosed weekly, that get to work on solid waste and the smell it leaves behind rather than masking it. This is the 120 mL bottle.
Key features
- 100% biological formula – beneficial bacteria and plant extracts, not a chemical deodoriser.
- Breaks down solid waste – targets the organic waste that builds up under a turtle tank's heavier bioload, not just the water column.
- Weekly dosing – 5 mL per 38 L, after an initial dose at setup.
- Compact 120 mL bottle – also available in 250 mL for larger tanks or more than one turtle setup.

Directions
Shake well before use. Dose 5 mL per 38 L of tank water at initial setup, then repeat weekly as part of routine maintenance. It's a biological product, not an instant fix – give it a few doses to establish before judging the result.
Suitable for – and not suitable for
Suited to aquatic and semi-aquatic turtle tanks as routine weekly maintenance alongside normal filtration and water changes. Not a substitute for water changes or filter maintenance – it works with your filtration, not instead of it. Exo Terra pairs it with Aquatize, a separate conditioner that removes chlorine and chloramine and neutralises heavy metals, for a full weekly routine.
Care and maintenance
Store the bottle as directed on the label and shake before every use, since the biological component can settle.
Goes well with
- Exo Terra Aquatize, for dechlorinating and conditioning new or changed water.
- An Exo Terra Turtle Bank, so the tank has a genuine dry basking area alongside clean water.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by the standard consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law, in addition to any manufacturer term. Ships from our Brisbane / North Lakes warehouse.
Common questions
How often do I dose Turtle Clean?
Once at initial tank setup, then weekly as part of routine maintenance, at 5 mL per 38 L of tank water.
Does it replace water changes?
No – it's a biological maintenance dose that works alongside your normal water changes and filtration, not a substitute for either.
What's actually in it?
Exo Terra states it as a 100% biological formula of beneficial bacteria and plant extracts. The manufacturer doesn't publish specific strain names on the product page.
