Does this work for turtle tanks?

Sorry, I have it in a tank with Koi, but for what it's worth, it isn't hurting my snails. A call to the company might be useful in that regard. It is not a rock, it is a porous, coral like material and it slowly disintegrates and fills the water with something that inhibits the growth of algae. It has helped my tank.

Sorry but I don't know the answer to that. We have fish in 2 tanks and fish with fire belly toads in the 3rd tank and that works great. It is my understanding that it keeps the level of good bacteria in the water to keep the ammonia levels right for fish but I don't know anything about the needs of turtles.

Not sure if it works for anything....it's rock and all I could ever tell it a rock....go outside and get a rock that is the right size and give it magical qualities and use instead of paying for a square rock....I serious

I use it in a 175 tub for a 10" red eared slider turtle, I works well. I use it as pre-filter and a pond 2 gallon sealed barrel bio filter as a polish filter, and a pond pump.

Bett....there are extensions for the intake and will work at a lower level. The output doesn't come with exemptions, however something could be made very easily (if needed). In my 120gal aquarium, my intake is closer to the bottom. I can drain the tank to just above the intake and it still runs fine. Keep in mind, these filters have a strong output. I do not have turtles and if the output is above the waterline, it may get a tad rough in there. Someone more familiar with turtles could probably touch on that a bit more.

i would not know This is made for fish tanks. fish tanks top out at like 80 tops.......you would be better off asking the maker.....and I have not even used my tube yet...

Yes, but check the measurement of your turtle to make sure the shell will clear the opening and the bridge will support the weight.

No unless you hate your turtles and just want a turtle prison this tank is :(

Sure but might be overkill for a few turtles. I would say that if it is a large tank with a lot of turtles it would do really well. However if it is a smaller tank with just a few you are pushing a lot of water without cause......

No, it's too big for a 10 gallon tank. You have to upgrade to at least a 20 gallon tank. But it's worth it. My turtle loves his new habitat.

I used it on one of tanks that had no substrate and it worked.I used to vacuum up pleco poop and other remains. So I don't see why it wouldn't work in your tank.

It should be fine for the turtle, but you need a electricity converter. Looks like these are 120V and they burn out within a few hours if plugged into 220V. (That happened to me). I'm buying a 220V to 120V converter for that reason. Hope this helps.

I have one for my 20 gallon regular tank with three small turtles. I would recommend it for a heavily stocked 20 gallon.

I would think that it will work on any size tank, put it near the bottom of the tank, it should work.

I use this on a pond, forcing more flow through it with a submersable pump on the intake end. Turtles are quite messy. Depending on the size of the turtle, even one of these will need regular cleanings. I use mine for an Alligator. It works great.

yes it does. I have used mine on a 20lb tank which is what everyone calls a 15lb. and I just got a 100lb tank for it.

Yes. I have a 75 gallon planted tank with sand substrate. It is set up for my turtle so it is only half full and I mounted the filter sideways. I do have to keep it on a low setting or it will dig holes from the current. I use the spray bar setting and it works beautifully.

All depends on what you are using it for. Like Dham, I also use it for one large and dirty red eared slider and it works great . Right now he is in a 40 gallon tank w/ 30 gallons of water, I plan to move him to a 75 gallon tank with 50 gallons of water... it should still work well... but that's for a red eared slider ... just one. I'd run a 2nd one if I add another turtle. Depends on your use -- turtles are the messiest.

It will not work if your tank is flat on the bottom. I guess it could but it might damage your tank or the stand because of tg heaviness of the water.I bought the one that sticks on to the side of the tank for my turtles. But if your tank has cut outs likely dragon tank it will work just fine.
