Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size basking platform should I choose for my turtle's aquarium?
A: Choose based on your turtle's size and tank dimensions. The Small (S) works well for hatchlings and small tanks, the Medium (M) suits juvenile turtles and mid-size aquariums, and the Large (L) is ideal for adult turtles or larger tanks. Always select a platform that allows your turtle to rest fully above the waterline.
Q: How do I keep the turtle basking platform clean?
A: Remove the platform from the tank periodically and scrub the simulation grass surface with a soft brush under running water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the acrylic material. Regular cleaning helps maintain a healthy environment for your turtle.
Q: Will the suction cups hold securely in my aquarium?
A: Yes — the platform is equipped with strong suction cups designed to grip smooth glass or acrylic aquarium walls firmly. For best results, press each suction cup down firmly against a clean, dry surface before adding water to the tank.
Q: Is this platform safe for use in a fish and turtle mixed tank?
A: Absolutely. This platform is specifically designed for fish and turtle polyculture tanks. The acrylic construction is non-toxic and aquarium-safe, making it suitable for mixed aquatic habitats.
