Hello! I have two painted turtles, a female midland painted turtle named TJ and a male western painted turtle named Speedy. They have been in a 29L tank with a Zoo Med 75W basking light, a Reptisun 5.0 light, and a HOT (hang-on tank) Magnum canister filter. Just today their new tank arrived--a 40 gallon breeder--Yay! They are going to love the extra room! I'm so excited about setting it up! I was going to get a Magnum 350 canister filter but the pet shop man suggested the Fluval 304 or 404. I'd like to know which models you fellow turtle lovers think works best in keeping the water clean...Magnum? Fluval? Thanks!

without a doubt the best filter for the price is the filstar xp3. Have had mine for about 2 weeks now and water is crystal clear and is very easy to prime. Right now the manufacter is givin away the free media along with it.

well a long time ago everyone was bragging about their fluval 404's because they were so great at keeping their tanks clean .

I have 4 fluval 404's and I LOVE them. I have 2 on a 75 gallon, 1 on a 33 long, and 1 on a 20 long. I bought a filstar because of all of the good things I read about them and it broke about 2 months later, and I discovered that it didn't keep the water as clean as my 404,s.
