is this ok for turtles?

Yes. They shouldnt be able to get to it. However even if they eat it its not going to hurt them. IMO youre wasting your time and money using carbon for turtles. Ive had a few and they smell no matter what you have to do a weekly water change to keep the odor down. Id just run straight filter fluff. But if you must then yes its safe theyll be fine.

This filter looks nice. I like it. But I use it for my turtles and they're about 2 inches now and I can already see them outgrow it. It'll be too bulky for them to climb on it. The filter itself is decent at best. I use it mostly for smaller turtles. Raise them in there and move them into a bigger tank with a proper filter.

This tank is tall rather then long. For a turtle I would suggest a long tank instead of tall. I also dont think this tank would be big enough for a turtle especially after the turtle has grown. My turtle is in a 150 gallon tank. I upgraded from a 50 gallon because he didnt have a lot of room to turn around in it.

The Avian Sun bulb should be fine for a turtle. In fact it would be good for it. I would let it shine on the turtle for at least four or five hours a day. Longer if you can. I have exotic birds and they need it in winter for at least six hours a day. I would consult an expert on reptiles. Try Ask.com.

I have my Red Foot and Yellow Foot Tortoises on it, and my Wood Turtles and it works well. Must get the new version. The old version is terrible.

Yes. I use it for 4 aquatic turtles when I travel. It comes with a mounting bracket that can attach to the side of the aquarium. The only down side is it can be a little tough to setup the feeder to dispense an exact amount each time, but overall it is pretty good for the price.

This tank is not really suitable for any type of turtle. It's only 3.5 inches deep therefore holding less than 5 gallons of water. I'd recommend a good size aquarium.

I don't know if you can use it for turtles, but it cannot be horizontal. The top of the heater must be poking out of the water so it can not be submerged horizontally.

You cannot use this inside a tank ever. You can't clean inside your tank with your turtles in it except with water.

Yes. Our tank is full of water and our turtles enjoy swimming in it. Hope that helps!

I have had mine about a year and its in 75 gallon tiger Oscar tank and have caught he attacking it several times and I have had no issues with it and he is 11in. So I think your turtle � should be fine

It may help for young turtles but would not support the weight of most average size turtles

I think the answer to that question would depend on what type of light bulb you use. This particular product does not come with a bulb, it's just a light fixture which is meant to replace the one that came built in to the lid of my aquarium. That being said: if this light fits onto the top of your tank and you find the right light bulb for turtles then in my opinion it would work great.

I have 2 red foot tortoises and mine don't dig at all. If you have box turtles, I would definitely recommend putting some sort of fencing on the bottom. Hope that answers your question. -Mike

This is very large,,50 gallons. We house two LARGE turtles and could fit a few more. It takes up a fair amount of space. Go smaller!

It is. I use it for my Russian tortoise. I try to make it thick so she can dig in it.

Not 100% sure about being water tight. Our local pet store did say it can be used for frogs , turtles, and lizards that need a moist environment.
