painted turtle tank parasites

Question
We have had this turtle for about two years. We found him in the woods, he was about the size of a quarter and had a damaged eye, probably a bird snatched him up and dropped him. In the last few months the tank has developed small white worm-like parasites in it. They are only noticeable when you are really looking for them, they are extremely tiny. The turtle eats fine and doesn't seem to be affected. Is there anything I can treat the water with to kill the parasite, but thats safe for the turtle.

Answer
Hey Amy,
