Thanks for the response!

In hindsight, I believe that I did two things wrong before - the water was too deep and I used tap water. I have just ordered a Waterland Tub. Based on your response, I should make the land area out of sand and organic material. Using your suggestion, I ordered the drain for the tub and I will just swap out the water as opposed to a filter system. Any recomendations on how often to change the water?

I have always just fed my turtels reptomin, with feeders and worms thrown in once in a while. What food do you find your spotted turtles eat?
