my res turtle has a strange pink line on it's plastron. Is the line normal? it wasnt there until i moved her into a new tank. My water temp is at 80c
My other male turtle has a similar line on its belly too.

It's usually a sign of excessively fast growth. The seams on the carapace (top shell) probably also look thick from this. You'll need to cut down on protein/pellets and review the diet.
Can you restate the water temperature?

You can probably lower the temps too.
