Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Filters
Fluval 404's are awesome, but pricey. best prices ive seen are on bigalsonline.com Also the whisper 40i internal filter is pretty good. Good luck.

Filters are hard to come by for turtles, the problem is their all designed for fish, and can't handle the amount turtles put out. You just need a unit with the best features for your needs.
I have not tried as many filters as a lot of people on these forums you might come across, but this is what I recommend.
I think the best filter your going to find is the canister filter. They hold more filter media than internal units (so they don't need to be cleaned as often), they contain enough power to clean from one end of the tank to the other. And they take a lot less room in the enclosure, all that is needed are the inlet and outlet tubes.
I currently am filtering my turtle aquarium with a Filstar XP 1, and it is the best filter I have ever bought. The Filstar XP's best features in my opion are the ability to self prime / start, and easy cleaning.

www.thatpetplace.com has the fluvall 404 filters for like 100 bucks...that is the cheapest that I've seen it. I use a fluvall 204 on my RES tank and it keeps the water clear.

If the turtle owners could help me out which are the best filters that they have or have used it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

It sounds like a complex situaltion. I can custom make a filter for you. I will need to do a full inspection of the tank to develop the correct flow and pressure. Once assembled I will perform a free service call to take care of all the issues and needs.
