If it is an aquatic turtle,( ex: red slider) you need to have 1 gallon of water per shell inch of your turtle. So if your turtle has a 4 inch shell; you would need a 10 gallon tank with 4 gallons of water in it.

How long does a turtle need to adjust to a new tank?

It depends on whether you just got this turtle or you are just giving him a new enclosure. If he is new to your home then it will take about a week, but it depends on the turtles character as well. I would leave a new turtle alone for the first 2-3 days and then start handling him. But it will take about a week for him to get completely settled. If your turtle is just getting a new enclosure then he will probably be awed by his new tank and get right to exploring. It will probably only take about 3 days for him to get settled.
