Do you think it annoys the turtle when the filter is left on at night my reasons are:
1. Noise made by filter
2. Current created by filter.

What do you think :?: .

lol I don't think it'll be a problem for your turtle unless it was REALLY loud and shooting out torrents of water.

Is it a waterfall filter?

You can attach a little piece of plexi glass on the lip of the filter to direct the water in the tank

I have a fluval 2 plus and my little preston likes to sleep with his arms anchored on the top of the filter and his body covers the hole for the out spray so he lives the current all night lol.

Actually, my turtle likes to sit right in the middle of the jet stream of the filter. She doesn't like the "quiet" area of the tank.

When Mikey was a baby, he would sleep on top of the air stone.
