Do you feed your turtles in the tank? Im having to change my water once a week, and I feed them outside the tank so that they live in clean water...

I have to change the water once a week, because my turtles have alot of waste. Yes, they poop ALOT. LOL It wasnt such a problem until they triplefied in size and started eating alot more. Im using a regular fish tank "TOP FIN" for 25 gallon filter, my tank is 10 gallons.

So how many turtles do you have in that 10galllon tank and how big are they? You need to concider getting a bigger tank and a much better filter that is for turtles, not fish... Surprised
