:pkay My turtles sometimes get algae on their shells but its really hard to get off with a tooth brush can I use some kind of liquid betadine or something b/c when I took my turtle to my vat he gave be some kind of blue liquid stuff but I dont know what it was it worked though any ideas?

Sounds like Nolvasan which is good for antibacterial and antifungal treatment but will not do much in the way of ridding algae. You can just manually remove it and it does not harm your turtle to have a bit of algae growing on it's shell.
