The German-American Steuben Parade is held in New York City every third Saturday in September starting at noon, and runs along Fifth Avenue from 64th Street to 86th Street. For over 50 years, the parade has celebrated the German culture with crazy costumes, floats, music, and dance.
âsomeone discovered that cycling water bottles (or bidons) contained a toxic chemical called BPAâ. I donât think anybody needed to âdiscoverâ it. If I recall correctly, BPA is deliberately added to the plastic to make it less hard and brittle, more squeezy. What was discovered is that BPA can be an estrogen mimic.
Of course, turtles also defecate in their water, so maintaining good water quality can be a challenge. Cloudy and smelly water in a turtle tank is a common problem, but even water that looks clean can harbour waste products such as ammonia and nitrites that can build up to harmful levels.enerally red eared sliders are pretty tolerant of small pH changes, but picking up on the changes can alert you to the fact that the chemistry in your turtle's water is changing. The pH should be in the range of 6-8 for red eared sliders.
