Anyone have any experience with the 205? Petsmart has a nice Black Friday deal on one I'm thinking about taking advantage of. Wondering what you all thought of it?

I have a 404 (bigger, older model). Very quiet, powerful filter.

But....

I would recommend getting a bigger filter. Your turtle(s) are going to quickly outgrow a filter this size. Why waste money when instead you can by a bigger model and never have to think about filters again.

I have a 205 on my 29 gallon axolotl tank. Works well for that, I wouldn't wan't to use it for a turtle though.
