I have several set-ups. I keep both fish and turtles. Turtles are really dirty and I use a Fluval 404 on a 50 gallon tank and it's barely enough at times. I was wondering what are some alternatives to buying expensive canister filters (404, XP3, Eheims) to filter larger set-ups (50 gallons or more).
I have seen some DIY filters, but most of them are just a power head and sucking water through media (internal filter or sponge filter). I don't think such DIY filters do a very good job, even with a big pump.
Any suggestions, without forking out $150 and more for canisters. Right now, I have internal filters and UGFs, but I need to clean the filters often and change water once a week. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
JJ
