There's nothing wrong with running two filters at the same time.

I think strong canister filters are always the best way to go.......
Not familiar with either filter, but no problem running 2.Like Azfar said, more to clean, and more electricity to pay.

Az -- The more filtraion the better. I am a believer of high water exchange. The only issue that I see is maybe the tank looking cluttered up. The turtles will not care about that . m.

I doubt there's anything like too much filtration. :D
