Know what you mean about those canister filters. I have had three Magnum 350s but I hated that gasket at the top as mine always wanted to leak. It was a pain to get 'just right'.
Some of the smaller internal filters are actually quite good. The Fluval 1, 2 and 3 are not bad and I think that is what is pictured in the aquarium photo I posted. But they do clog easily and have become expensive lately.
For the past few years I have used Penn-Plax Cascade 300s. These are a small but powerful, very easy to install and use internal filter. I have two for each tank and at $14.00 are a good deal.
True, they are really too small to keep the tank as clean as a Magnum 350, but they can be cleaned in minutes. They are great if you only have one or two turtles and you feed them outside their tank to keep wastes down.
