Can I use it on my turtle tank

I don't see why that wouldn't work. The heater must be completely submerged in water to prevent damage to the heater.

It might be adequate for an aquatic turtle. I have one turtle in a 35 gallon tank, but it is not filled to capacity and so the heater works just fine. I assume you don't fill the 40 gallon tank to capacity, but if you have more than 30 gallons in the tank, the heater might might not be adequate.

I would personally try it out. My only concern would be it getting into the filter itself because the lid doesn't latch but that would be the most minor nuisance. You certainly wouldn't go through filter media as quickly as with a turtle! I woulld say go for it, just keep an eye out to make sure they aren't showing any signs of distress or aggitation. It should be fine.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

Not too strong but there is a mini switch you can lower in case you feel it is a bit too strong. I have aquatic turtles so the current would be different for fish as they are not heavy in weight. I feel that this filter would be good for fish not too good for turtles as they are a bit bigger & their stool is as well.

i have it for a snake. i litely hosed it off before i used it & alot of the moss came off right away & continues to come off w/ each time i hose it off. a turtle could easily bite the pieces of moss right off its very stringy. i have no idea if a turtle could digest it or if its toxic to turtle. i wouldnt take a chance.

This heater is adjustable over a wide range so you should be able to find a setting that is suitable for your tank and fish. Just make sure you have a thermometer to check the temperature. Also, I use mine in a 10 gallon tank with only about three inches of water (for turtles). I have the heater laying at an angle, leaving only the top out of the water. Works fine.

I would highly recommend getting a thermometer. It kept mine at about 76 degrees F. I'm sure you could use it for your turtles, but make sure you keep the temp in the turtle range and dont boil them. I don't know much about turtles. I think the directions it comes with says to mount it vertically, but as long as you let it acclimate to the water before turning it on, it should be fine no matter how it lays. The comment about how many gallons of water you try to heat is very crucial. I hope this helps!

I have not used this for water tanks,I don't see how it would crack your tank it would warm the water,not sure your turtle would like that. Read as much info they have it should tell you if you can't use it under a tank with water,I checked couldn't find anything on that.

This tank is not really suitable for any type of turtle. It's only 3.5 inches deep therefore holding less than 5 gallons of water. I'd recommend a good size aquarium.

No, it's too big for a 10 gallon tank. You have to upgrade to at least a 20 gallon tank. But it's worth it. My turtle loves his new habitat.

Sorry but I don't know the answer to that. We have fish in 2 tanks and fish with fire belly toads in the 3rd tank and that works great. It is my understanding that it keeps the level of good bacteria in the water to keep the ammonia levels right for fish but I don't know anything about the needs of turtles.

I don't see why not. It suction cups to the side of the tank just keep it lower so your lizard can crawl onto it. It does have the top section as a "diving platform" so you might want to stack some rocks up higher so he can crawl down from it without diving off. Hope that helps.

Yes! In fact, that's what I bought it for. :) It did a splendid job in getting everything in my turtles 29 gallon tank, it even cut the time in half that it would take with an ordinary aquarium siphon.

Answer here...probably. Just know its not tall and has to be stabilized to stay in place. Has worked very well for me over aquatic turtle tank. Hope this helps.

If you cut the vertical tubes, yes. If it's for turtles (or other amphibians) this is not the filter to use.

I'm not sure about turtles, but for fish it's really designed for smaller tanks. I suspect you need something bigger...
