Your pond might be anoxic- a lot of red-pigmented microorganisms grow in water with inadequate oxygen to support green and brown algae. It probably won't hurt your turtles, but it would kill fish or other water-breathers (the anoxia, not the red stuff). An aerator or waterfall should prevent it; so would submerged plants, if they could survive your turtles!
