What about just a few large air driven sponge filters?

Kate, I have a couple of Turtle displays in my store and the only filter I
have
been happy with is the Fluval 4 Plus. It is a submersible filter and the
elements
are washable and reusable. I am using it in a 40 Breeder with 6 painted
turtles
and it is keeping the water sparkling clear.
