O..I see....Do you replace the water when you clean the tank or do you also do it more regularly? Because, oh man..My turtles dirty thier tanks so fast..I feed my adult turtles a little in the morning and a little at night.
I gotta clean my 75 gal tank every 10 days. Because even if you have a really strong filter, the water does get smelly anyways.lol

Just a note, a group of turtles is called a bale, not a herd. I dont know if you knew that :)
Ever gonna post updates on them?

Herd of turtles is meant to be a joke, not an accurate term for a group of turtles. They are now a year old. Have a new "bale" of 4 to raise. Will have to update all. Also have 50 snapper hatchlings.

Water is replaced with dechlorinated water when the tank is cleaned. If you have anything like sand or gravel on the bottom of the tank, it will encourage the growth of anaerobic bateria, which cause foul odors. My tank is just plain glass. You might also do what many others do and place your turtles in a separate tank at feeding time and not feed in the main tank. Recommend feeding adults every other day as much as they will eat in 30 minutes. Overfeeding is not good for turtles.

Awsome..How often do you clean the tank?

The external filter is very effective. I cleaned the tank three times throughout the winter, so about every month to month and a half. Filter is cleaned once a week.
