If your turtle is still a baby/juvenile then that looks okay but you should try to offer the greens and veggies daily and maybe a little less on the shrimp/krill. As your res gets up around 4" you should cut back on the amount of proteins (pellets, shrimp, crix) to about 1/2 the amount that would fit in his head every day and increase the greens.
