Habitat - Indoor :: Cheapest GOOD filter !!!

[the-turtle-Girl]

I need a cheap GOOD option for a 40 gallon tank housing 2 turtles , gimme ideasss !!!! CHEAP but good , was looking at sun sun hw 303b but give me opinionssss !

Probably a Penn Plax Cascade canister filter. If its short-term, look into a hang-on like AquaClear.

Theyll be in the pond for summers once we get it situated , but for the winter theyll be inside , but i plan on keeping the tank completely operational , so long time lol , either the cascade 1000 or the hw-303b ..

Or and Odyssea Canister filter ... hhmmmmmm

[steve]

At one point, Odyssea were great filters but the main site importing them has shut down. As for SunSun, those are mostly clones of Fluvals, so I wouldn't expect much either.

[the-turtle-Girl]

you get what you pay for right ?

[steve]

For aquarium equipment, yes

Lmao , wouldnt expect any less lmao , ill prolly wait till black friday and get a cascade if theyre on sale xD i might go for a fluval , hmmm choices lmao ..

[steve]

A couple of years ago, PetSmart had some great deals on Fluvals, I think the FX6 were more than half off.

[the-turtle-Girl]

holy cowwwwww lol ima have to watch xD

[steve]

Yeah, it was crazy but it was a great deal. We definitely post them here when we see 'em.

[the-turtle-Girl]

Yesss !!! i have a petsmart here in town , we dont have a petco tho xD idk why its weird and then we have this place called Green Tree Pet center , and they have cascades and fluvals and a few other brands i cant think of off the top of my head haha , i wonder if theyll have any black friday deals o.o

[steve]

Can't hurt to ask. Most pet stores (even big chains) don't seem to carry a wide variety anymore.

[the-turtle-Girl]

either that or just build my own haha ..

[steve]

It's certainly possible, there are lots of tutorials out there
