I really don't see the point in spending money on this when almost any turtle will quicky grow and overwhelm its capacity. I have used this on hatchlings, but that is all it is good for.

If you have a hatchling... a 501 might work good... while they are a hatchling... The second they start poopin alot, the 501 sucks. I had to double mine up with another standard fishtank filter. Then I got the fluval 404 and no more problems. If they made the canister itself bigger on the 501 it would have been better
