hey ppl ... question ... i came home yesterday and noticed the water in my tank was pinkish-redish and the turtles are shedding ... i have 4 in a 20 gal tank ( i bought a new 70 gal tank today dont mention i need to change it lol ) i have a Resun internal power filter .. the 3800L and a wisper 30 gal hang on , i still need to buy my canister .... but what could cause the pinkish redish water ? and they were shedding alot .. but after i cleaned the water and i had them in a seperate tank for a few hrs ... its been a whole day and the water still clear ... (i have the wisper filter out ) could it be that filter ?

How big are they?? 4 in a 20 = recipe for disaster. Which ever it is needs to be quarantined in the 20gallon.
