Habitat - Indoor :: Inexpensive In-tank filter for a 10-20 gal. tank?

[MissMandy]

My turtles tank is really messy and I don't know much about filters. I'm assuming I need an in-tank one because the water is shallow in my tank. Are there any good ones out there that aren't so expensive?

You should fill up your tank with water as high as you can, without your turtle escaping. (They can climb really well)

Wal-mart makes a cheap filter... $10. I think its around 100 GPH, and has separate filter and biomedia. That way, when you change your filter, you dont have to completely recycle your tank.

raise ur water level but dont let it be so high that ur turtle can get out. And when you raised your water level get a aqua clear filter they are preety cheap to and remember that the gph has to 5x as much as how much water you have

This is a picture of the type of basking platform I purchased. I wish I had gotten another, this one sits on the bottom of tank so I have to keep the water low. I'm not sure what to do about the water level. Any ideas?

bricks underneath?

Oh, That one that walmart has is a HOT filter. Although i do know that they have in tank... I have never seen them though.
