Happy and Healthy Fish!!!
This filter is great,you do have the extra costs of media and filter floss and a decent pump,but once everything is established, "figure about it".This thing will have your water crystal clear and you will see a change in your fish being honestly Happy and Healthy! Cant recomend it enough!

This one works one months in water's clear.
This is the best Turtle filter I have had thus far I have tried many and they all failed this is the first canister and my water has been clear for the first time. I don't know about the other canisters but this one works one red ear slider turtle with clear water finally. It's been 1 month I've had one water change haven't touched the filter water still clear the turtle's happy and I'm happy. get the right setups if you plan on keeping a turtle it is a whole lot of work without the right stuff. I still have a 20gal. 75 gal is recommended and we will upgrade later but for now we're all happy campers.
