This might seem hard to do ...but I never feed my turtles in their tank. I always take them out and feed them in a plastic storage bin. It gives me a chance to check them over...eyes etc. I leave them in there until all the food is gone, and then 15 min. after that. I very rarely have to do a water change, and it never smells. Can you post pictures of your pond. I would love to see it. I just put another outdoor pond in the yard. Almost finished.
