Ok, that's better, but I guess the care sheets weren't that clear.
The malayan box should not be set up as a fully aquatic (RES, map) turtle. It should be half land (dirt mixed with peat moss or bed-a-beast) and half water. They like to dig and can eat in and out of the water. You could also lower the water level slightly, or just make sure it doesn't get any higher than it is now.
Can you divide the tank somehow so you can put dirt on one side? That would be ideal.
