Product details
Dr Tim's Waste-Away Gel Turtle Small 10gal (130) is a time-release waste treatment gel designed to help keep an aquarium cleaner by continuously releasing Waste-Away bacteria. The bacteria feed on nutrients from fish waste and help break down waste, which can support clearer water over time. Use it in freshwater or marine/reef tanks, following the package guidance, as a practical supplement to routine filtration and water care.
