I would take out all the gravel. I don't use gravel in most of my tanks.
What type of filter are you using?
That turtle block is also a waste of money

What ype of turtle?
It is probably from the vita shell. Don't use the vita shell anymore, it is a waste of money anyway. If you are properly caring for your turtle, you don't need that stuff.

I have a whisper 10 filter, a female RES, and i ws using the vitashell because i got the turtle from a family who did NOT properly take care of her. I just got it as a precausionary measure. The soapy bubbles have decreaed dramatically. I think it was the vitashell, as well. thanks

a high phosphate situation on the "soapy " part. The residue from anything ( vita shell ) could of caused it.
