I've heard of this whole "new tank syndrome". How long should I wait until I can put my turtles in? Hours, a day, days?

So I can put my turtles in right away when the temp is appropriate? I don't have to wait for the ammonia and all those things to level out?

The new tank syndrome is when the water gets all cloudy and everything is starting out new with no good bacteria in the tank.
