Tank water =/

Come back to this today:



It looks like they are just bubbles. Just wondering if anybody knows what it is? Will it harm a musk? How to cure it?

Cheers.

I've had this as well mate, most of us have.
It won't harm turtles or fish no, although you may find they come up for air more often.
When I first spotted it in my tank I was alarmed.
It's normal though, it usually clears up within a few weeks. It usually signals that you need to change your water as oxygen levels may be getting low in your tank water. Live plants help reduce these unpopping bubbles.

You may also find a film of oil over the surface of the water.
I think it was Graham that told me this was excess proteins from rotting food.

Not sure its from rotting food nessesarily, just meaty food. That could be rotting, or it has passed through the turtle. I replied on your other thread dude.
