Try using seachem purigen, it absorbs the nitrogen compounds. Im using this and my water is sparkling, im also using denitrate and my nitrate is down at 5ppm, plants help too though but i expect they'd be eaten in your tank.

and carbon to sweeten the water... it absorbs so much and reduces odors and helps maintain water clarity...

As others have said the cause of this is poor water quality.
Which species of turtle is it that you are keeping in just 20 litres of water? If so this is quite clearly the cause of the problem and is no doubt endangering its life. The recommended quantity is 40 litres per inch of turtle. And then 20 litres per inch of additional turtle. This would of course have to then be filtered by a large canister filter.

It is a juvenille musk so it is only about 1" and only needs shallow water. Looks lost in the tank so it is fine.
