I own several turtles (and too many fish to count) and would
*not* be inclined to use turtle water on my CPs. Turtles are
very messy creatures and I suspect the nutrient load of the
water would be much higher than your CPs would appreciate.

Then again, I've never tried it so can't be certain. I can't see
any benefits to risking it though.

Later,

Andrew.
