Ok I've had her 3 days and idt she's eating. I put pellets in the water the 1st day I set up her tank and when I got home from work they were gone (worked 3-10) and i only gave her a 1/2 tsp she didnt touch any of it for the 1hr it took me to get ready. but the 2nd day nothing so i soaked the food in tuna fish water. she didnt eat it after a while so i took them out. 2day i gave her treats and nothing. idk what to do. but she surely seems to be pooping. the water is cloudy and its only been 2 days in the tank :?

Keep offering food. It's normal for a turtle in a new environment to be reluctant to eat. She will get hungry enough and start to eat. Sounds like you are on the right track, but patience is key.

Cheers!
