Not necessarily 'change' it - but certainly clean it regularly. As a cleansing product - I swear by 'Milton Fluid' (the stuff you sterilize baby bottles with). Once a week, wash the gravel in a solution of half a cap of Milton to two gallons of water. Let the gravel sit in the water for at least an hourto allow time for the fluid to work. Rinse the gravel thoroughly in clean water at least three times - to get rid of any Milton residue.
Leave the gravel to dry for a couple of hours before you put it back in the cage. One option would be to have another quantity of gravel already cleaned so you can 'swap' it over instead of having to wait for it to dry.

Is it easy to clean an aquatic turtle's aquarium?
No. Cleaning out a turtle tank is a lot of hard work. First, you have to remove the dirty water from the tank, bucketful by bucketful. Then you have to carry the tank to the bathtub, dump out all the gravel, rinse the gravel separately, and then wash the tank with soap and water. It's a lot of physical labor and it takes a long time to do (about 2 hours).But if you have a filter for the tank, you do not have to do it very often (3 or 4 times a year). If you do not have a filter, you will have to clean out the tank at LEAST every other week.
What causes cloudy water in the aquarium?

1 How much water should you put your turtle in?
this depends on what kind of turtle you have, a terapin, or water turtle, requires alot of water, it depends on the age, and size of the turtle as well as the number of turtles in the aquarium, a good rule of thumb is for each adult turtle you need at least 50 gallons of water, just remember they also need a place to bask, in other words, get completely out of the water and get some uv light, and dry there shells. if they stay in the water all the time and don't get a chance to dry off they will get shell rot, wich is very painfull and often faital to them, I set my aquarium up so that they have most of the room for swimming and a small floating surface for them to bask, we have a 55 gallon aquarium to house 4, 6 month old turtles. just make sure they have enough room to bask and not be in the water, or having to touch another turtle, and you should be fine!
