Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

The fluoresent lights in my fish tank make the perfect lighting for algae, i have both green and brown. i have no algae eater (can't afford currently) so i wiped it myself. now the water is cloudy. i'm worried about doing a full water change since one of my tetras may be pregnant and i don't want to overstress. any advice? thanks

Do what ever you are content with. A water change will not hurt the turtles with clean unclorinated water. I don't know about your fish. I would feed the fish to the turtle and clean out the tank. If you decide to clean the tank you will have to do a complete cleaning job. Algea is difficult to get rid of. There are some chemicals the will kill the alfgea also.
