Nasty Water

Turtles are messy creatures.

Their tanks are rather hard to keep clean.
Especially when they keep knocking their food into the water.
Especially when they keep knocking over the filter so the water can't be filtered well.
Especially when there is more than one turtle in the tank.

Ugh.
For the past couple of weeks, its been a kinda nightmare to have to deal with those turtles.
It feels like I have to do a water change every other day to keep it from a) looking disgusting and b) smelling disgusting.

Plus, it can't be healthy at all to be swimming in water that looks like Chicken Noodle Soup.

Yah. Probably won't be having any of that any time soon due to being scarred by the turtles at work. *shakes head*

But today,
After deeply cleaning out the turtle cage.
I finally came upon a solution to keep the turtles from knocking their food bowl into the water.

I took the gravel in the tank, and piled it up around the food bowl.
So it can't be pushed around as easily.

Hopefully this solves the problem of food in the water.
Hopefully this means that the water can stay cleaner and not as smelly for it's required week of time.

But we'll see.
Turtles are nothing but determined to make messes it seems like.
