I don't believe anyone answered the gravel question. It is recommend that you take out the gravel. The turtles will eat those also and it can become impacted in their tummy. Many times this requires surgery to remove it. Also, it could be contributing to the smell in your tank, along with the size. The tiny waste particles become stuck in the gravel and the filter won't clean them out. So, best to remove it.
