:Now that I soted out the food problem I want to no how deep every one keeps there water. My turtle is 3" and I have her in a 40g for now with the water being 7" deep is this good or should it be higher.

=======
If it were me, a 3-inch turtle would have a water depth of 8-10 inches and you would have graduated areas of differing depths...a section of the full depth and some shallower areas leading up to the basking area.
