hi guys..im kind of new at this aquatic turtle hobby Smile

I got a Fluval 205 for my 5 gallon tank. Lol, Yes I know its too much for the 5 gallon tank but I plan to upgrade the tank every so often so I figured I should just buy a big one (hope this doesnt affect anything.)

What happens was the first week that the filter was set up, the water was nice and clean. However, it's almost the end of the second week now and the water is cloudy. Is there something wrong with the filter set up??

Any feedback would help! Thanks so much guys

You should clean out your filter as turtles are very dirty animals.
