Cloudy Water in Turtle Tank?

Cloudy Water in Turtle Tank - two turtles in tankI have two red-eared slider turtles. I sent them to a friend's house while I moved. I have a 150 gal tank with a filtration system. When I had time I brought the turtle tank to my new place I bought new insides for the filter, black and white pouches, new foam thingies, and gave them all fresh water.

It's been cloudy water for 4 days now. I've never had this problem before and I don't understand what is going on.
Please anybody have any suggestions?

This is from turtle waste. When you clean out the tank, wipe the inside with an algae pad.

It could be the water from your new place is different than your old place. Talk to a pet store in your area and ask what they recommend.

I had a similar issue with fish when I lived in Virginia. The new house had water with more minerals or something than than the old house. They recommended a different filter and some kind of tablets and that fixed my situation.

Hope yours is that easy!
