Okay. I have 4 turtles, the largest only 2.5 inches. Two common musks (one is female), a painted, and a map or false map turtle. They live in a ten-gallon (I know, its over-stocked), and I want to try to keep the water as clean as possible for them so that I dont have to change it as frequently (I usually have to change it every day to every other day).
My tank is set up like this: the water reaches almost the top of the tank (maybe about a half-inch from the top), and, skimming the surface, is a tupper-ware lid that I have turned into a ledge (its a square, so I put it in the corner. I put a screw in three corners, and string is tied to them and taped to the outside of the tank). At the bottom is a circular cinderblock and about a half-inch of pebbles and shells. Crap always builds up in between the them, and the filter cant clean it, so should I get rid of them? Other suggestions (aside from getting rid of the turtles, which I know some wit is bound to say) are appreciated
