Filters that have suction cups to stick to the sides of the glass are probably your best bet. I don't know the brands but check some out at any good petshop. Those carbon filters you place at the top don't always work with turtles, and don't try to jerry-rig it, or it may cause electrocution.

One thing to be aware of too, is that the hatchling doesn't get sucked up by whatever filter you use. And watch out for gravel and sliding rocks, which is the number one cause of death with hatchlings. They drown.
