Hello, in my aquarium I am using two internal filters positioned opposite ends of the tank horizantally, I am using them to collect solid wastes from the bottom of the tank and help the external canister filter Which I use to maintain biological and chemical filtration, I have 2 juveline RES and 2 juveline Emys orbicularis now. The reason for opening this message to snappers forum; my new 4 snapping turtles will arrive soon and and I will give my turtles to a friend of mine who I trust about tuetle care, and turn my tank into a snapper tank. I will use the tank for a short time about 6 months, max 1 year till I have seperate tanks for all four turtles, I will have 2 common snappers and 2 allys, as I wrote in my previous topic I'll dvide the tank from the middle one side for commons and one side for allys.
My question is about İnternal filters , I'm going to change mines with news because as I know snappers need shallow water and my filters are very large for the setup that I'm planning.
And I heard snappers are very messy eaters and will pollute the water too much, Which filter should I buy?
It must be used İn shallow water for hatchlings, and ıt should have a good performance when used horizantally. Which internal filters are most preferred by snapper keepers?
I heard about duetto and fluval but also heard duetto is crab and duetto clogs easily, I need advice because in my country ı dont have many selection and I will take the filter from abroad via a frind of mine.
Also I wonder, can I keep 2 allys together in one side of the tank and 2 commons togerher at he other side for six months(max a year)? My tank is 50 inch long, 25 inch deep and 25 inch height.
