What is the best water filter for a tank of 40 gallons of turtle?
I began planning a new home for my 4-inch-long turtle Florida. For now it is in a tank of 5.5 liters. I'm thinking of getting him (or her) a tank with 40 gallons of breeder. What is the best filter for this tank? I looked at the Fluval 205. Is this going to filter well water? (110 l / h, up to 40 gallons) No Other filters that someone else uses it? I'm spending as little as possible, but obviously not to leave not a good filter. She also likes to dig, which is a good substrate to use so that you can not dig that? Currently, I have stones in the bottom of the tank a regular plastic for large crack.
Turtles! I Love Em '. I have 2 red – eared sliders. Tyrone is about 4 years and measures of Shell about 5 1 / 2 inches in diameter. Jared is much lower, about 3 inches in diameter. Recently had a thimble. Leroi was his name … It was great. 8 " diameter. They live in a 75 gallon tank. The bottom of the tank is covered with small river rocks and plants. They like to have places to hide. Also have a floating platform to enjoy the light and keep warm. So to answer your question … "Fluval" specializes in filters for turtles. Come in various sizes accomaodate the tank size you have. For a 40 gallon tank, at least it should be # 204. I have the largest model animals sold # 404. 100 gallons of filtered water. The only part of filtration system that is in water intake and discharge pipe. Therefore, a minimum of space occupied in the tank, leaving more room for the turtles. The motor is contained in a container that sits on the floor under the tank. It is very quiet. Cleaning is easy. It is not necessary cleaned often. I just cleaned my filter and the container of about 4 months each. Even then, the water remains clear, of course we still have some sediment in the tank bottom. I suggest you check the "Fluval Filters. worth the extra money if you do not want to change the filter every two weeks. If you buy this brand, I am sure you and your turtle will be happy. Good luck, Kevin
