Im going to buy a 40 gallon tank soon. I currently have the Tetra brand heater and Filter. will these be fine in a bigger tank or will i need to upgrade? and if new products are needed which do you recommend?

To be honest.....A 40 gallon is gonna be too small for 4 turtles.
You should get a 75 gallon now, or you will have to get one eventually.By spending a little more now, you save a lot later.
As per the heater and filter depends on the Watts and GPH they are.

try craigslist in your area.....That's by far the best place to buy and trade fish tanks.
I got my 75 gallon for $200, tank,stand,light,heater,and a cascade 1500 canister filter.
Got the 30 gallon for $30.00 tank,stand,and light and a fluval 304 for an extra $30.00.
Just wait for a few weeks....Good deals pop up all the time.
