Persistent Cloudiness in Turtle Tank?

I persistently have a problem with the water in my turtle tank being cloudy. It's about 150 gallons and I have four 2inch wide red ear sliders. I put zoo med Reptisafe in the water daily as well as exo biotine. I have two filters as well. I clean up any uneaten food and my water is still foggy! What should I do?

I found this video, although I am not an expert on turtles at all, he says not to feed the turtles in the tank they stay in but to feed them in a seperate tank and he mentions two products: Aquatic Turtle Banquet Block and also Flukers and it said something I could not make out. It is a cleaner I suppose?

Here is the video. youtu.be/6DyDS4C86Is

He also said that rocks on the bottom cause cloudy water also.

I feed my turtles in a separate small bin everyday and then return them to their home this keeps the tank so much cleaner

Where do you get them? My water is cloudy and I got rid of my rocks that I had at the bottom of my tank.

You need to make sure that your tank is big enough for your turtle to swim around and maybe some vines to Hide in & a good filter system .I dont know what size tank you have and size turtle but its actually easier to keep a bigger tank clean . I have a 4 inch male painted turtle in a 75 gallon tank
