How often do you feed them? RESs are like the goldfish of the turtle world...they will eat and eat and eat until they roll over--and then pretend like they never ate if you walk within eye roll of them....lol...

Overfeeding will dirty the water rapidly....if you are not overfeeding I would review your filtering system as well as check to see if your pond remains in full sun all day....
