I recently bought a zoomed turtle canister filter, and it doesn't work really well......i'm going to return it for a different filter
any suggestions on which filter i should buy?

What size tank do you have, and are you planning on upgrading any time soon? Also, how many turtles do you have in one tank?

I have a 75 gallon tank, with two turtles. I use the Rena XP3 and I love it. There is also the XP and XP2 for smaller tanks. It is a canister filter.

Welcome. How many gallons is the tank? How big is your turtle?

That's 15 gallons...not much water. You could try an AquaClear, but you'd have to raise the water level (or modify it).
