Using the Zoo Med Dr Turtle calcium block in a turtle tank

This slow-release block sits in the water and gradually adds calcium, which supports healthy shell and bone development in turtles and aquatic reptiles. We sell it to red-eared slider and terrapin keepers, who are common in Singapore, as an easy supplement alongside a good diet and proper lighting. Drop it in and let it dissolve over time; it is a passive top-up rather than a quick fix, so think of it as steady background support for your turtle’s shell.

It also gently conditions the water, which is useful given our soft local tap water tends to be low in minerals. That said, turtles are messy and demand strong filtration, so keep up your water changes; a supplement does not replace good housekeeping. Keep an eye on water clarity, since these blocks dissolve faster in warm water, and our 27-29C tanks may work through them more quickly than the packaging suggests.
