Very nice! The sand is a pain to clean, but I like its look.
Don't worry about PH. Your turtle isn't breathing it like a fish. Consistent PH is more important than the value as long as it's not way out of whack. My tap varied between 7.6 and 8.1 back when I was measuring it. The tank usually was around 7.8.
I haven't checked it in years, and the fish and shrimp are doing fine.
