SO i got the tank from this guy I made a dumb move of just putting the rocks in their without washing them and of course the whole tank was white, now I got all the rocks out and I"m trying to drain the tank but I Got about an inch of water left Not so fun.

Any ideas how to get the rest of this water out so I can clean the tank solidly and how should I clean it? with what any ideas.

I would be careful with the gravel/rocks, some turtles will eat the rocks and get impacted (plugged up), it can kill them if not taken care of immediately. Confused

You can use the bigger river rocks for a similar effect, or like I do, print out pictures of gravel and tape them to the bottom of the tank. Very Happy
