the bubbles are probably just micro-bubbles caused by water agitation. Those are actually a sign of good water health as long as they're not settling at the top. They are harmless to your turtles but may be sucked in by your filter, so make sure your filter stays full of water to keep it operational

turt-zz87 -- Is your pump making a little more noise than usual? Check and see if the bubbles are coming out of the discharge. m.
