To change a turtle's tank, first, remove the turtle and place it in a temporary container with some of its water. Next, drain the tank, scrubbing the surfaces with a non-toxic aquarium safe cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water to remove algae and debris. Rinse thoroughly, refill the tank with clean, dechlorinated water, and ensure the temperature and filtration system are set up before returning the turtle to its habitat. Finally, add any necessary decorations or substrate back into the tank.
