The water level in the turtle pond was too high...makes it easy for them to escape by getting up on the overhang.
Yesterday, I decided to pump out 2 or 3 inches of it, with my Lil Giant 1/4 hp submergible pump with an outlet hose into the lawn.

When it was low enough, I unplugged the pump and went on to other jobs around the yard.

About 4 hrs later, I went to the pond to put the pump away and looked in....the water was all gone! Even though I had unplugged the pump..it kept siphoning till it was empty. The fish were flopping around on their sides and the turtles were walking around like they found a new world.

So..I decided to move them inside for the winter....It's almost here anyways.
