After much thought and having tried a couple of smaller filters, I bit the bullet this weekend and bought another Magnum 350 canister filter for my 75 gallon tank.
Sort of a pain to hook up but MAN! what a difference! You could drink the water from this aquarium now. Of course, there is only one female K.s.cruentatum in it at the moment so there is not that much of a load but still, I had two Fluval 3s going on it before with minimal results.
The only drawback is the current put out by the return tube but I installed a diverter and that helps cut down the flow.
PHRatz is correct...spend the $$ and do things right.

All right! ^5
Glad you like it.
I had been told for a long time by a turtle person that the Magnum is wonderful but I didn't want to spend the money.
When I was forced to buy a new filter and took that plunge I was really very happy with it & still am.
Getting it set up though.. didn't bother me because that's the husband's job around here!! LOL
He puts things together I "push the buttons." 
I think with Scooter in the near future I am going to go for it again & go with another Magnum.

Yeah I agree. Magnums are great filters. I have the 250 HOB filter and it does a great job.

Currently in the US Navy so I have sold off my collection. But over the years I have had dozens of turtles, fish, geckos, and other lizards. Cant wait to get back in the hobby once im out though!
