Hello, I've decided to make an indoor pond for my turtles. I am just wondering what type of filter I should get as i've never had something this size with this many gallons. The pond I will be making will be holding between 180 and 240 gallons of water. Anyone have any suggestion for type of filter that would work best in a pond of that size? Im looking for something super strong so the water will stay as clear as possiable and just keeps the water filtrated best it can. Also I do not mind having maybe 2 filters in there is no one has any suggestion for 1 that would be strong enough for that much water. Anything would help(btw the pond will be holding RES and Cooters)

I use a Fish Mate UV & Bio POnd External Filter. I have a 1000 gal pond outside and a small 60 gal. inside. They come in all sizes, and if you order from Doctors Foster and Smith, they will reccomend the size pump for your filter. Mine works great, and the water is always clear. I have a Eastern Painted and Southern Painted in the 60 gal inside. This summer they will go in the big pond as they are getting bigger. Just remember to double the size of the pond when ordering the pump and filter, because it is for turtles which need a higher filtration.
