OK, so I have a pet turtle, and today is cleaning day. But here's the problem, I can't pull my tank up off my stand. What on Earth am I supposed to do-- and remember turtle poop stinks like monkey butt, my house is going to smell like monkey butt in a few short hours!

Scoop the water and stuff out, break the things apart, and rebuild the tank in a way that is healthier for the turtle and easier for you to care for it.
Turtle tanks should not stink at all. The ways to combat this is to provide a nice, big tank (10 gallons of water per inch of turtle minimum) and strong filtration to keep the water clean.

If you have an aquatic turtle you can purchase a cleaning tool called a Python. I have one and I love it. What it does is it sucks out all of the water via your sink and replaces the water with just a pull of a switch. I purchased it at Wal-Mart for $35.00. I also saw it at Petco for $85.00...so needless to say Wal-Mart is the best deal. See the link below.....
