There are two types of Fluval filters: internal and cannister. The Fluval plus series is the internal type; the Fluval 104/204/304/404 series is the canister type. Canister filters from I read usually do a better job of filtering water and are also a lot more expensive than internal ones. I used to own an internal filter and got frustrated with the frequent water changes. Then I switched to an Aquaclear filter, which is a hang-from-the-back, waterfall-type filter. I do a complete water change once a month and feed my turtles outside the tank.
