happy?

Sorry for the three that have died. I think that load is way too high for
that size container. Turtles poop tons and need very excellent filtration.
If you keep the tub, you should provide more water and an island for them to
sun bathe on. Mostly though, you need a real filter. IMHO, even two turtles
in this environment may be too many.
