Can l put the filter inside the tank since it is for a pet turtle?

No. It hangs on the back of the tank. It would not work well without a full tank.

Yes but i would suggest getting a larger filter than the one that comes with it. Great little tank though.

I realize you are looking to keep turtles but the absolute beauty of this very large canister filter, is you can fill it with whatever you want to. It really depends on whatever you are keeping. Since I keep only very large fancy goldfish in a 125 gallon tank (messy critters that they are) I am using in the top basket: Fluval Universal Filter Media Bags - one filled with ammonia remover and another with activated carbon. The second basket: Seachem Purigen in a Seachem Filter Media bag (very fine mesh able to contain the Purigen) and in the 3rd basket: Seachem Matrix Bio Media in the bottom canister covered with filter pad cut to fit the circle shape of the basket. Hope this helps somewhat! I realize you are looking to keep turtles but the absolute beauty of this very large canister filter, is you can fill it with whatever you want to.

Yes it can be used inside the tank as long as the outflow opening is slightly above the water line

Depends on how many turtles and how often u clean the filter cus turtles are dirty but if u keep up with the cleaning of the filter I think u good

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

It might. Just barely if so. You might want to aquire the dimensions of your tank and the filter itself before purchasing. Just ah thought. If not you can always send it back ya know. No harm no foul.

Absolutely. Water goes through the filter and what comes out is filtered water. If you want to put filtered water in your reserve tank, this is the thing to do it with!

I use mine in a 70 gallon turtle tank with a turtle box on top. You should be good, but you will probably have to get some aquarium silicone and silicone the intake parts together. Otherwise your turtle is going to claw at it and pull them apart.

I am using mine for a turtle. I have a filter in it but have the filter wedged between rocks. I may put heater in later but would have to figure out a different way to hang it. Hope this helps. Really like tank.

yes you can, but be aware it will cloud the tank for a few days until it settles so it might be better to do it when you need to do a water change. AND remember to never rinse this substrate before putting ti into the tank it has live cultured bacteria already in it.

You can or you can not. My husband and I let it soak in the existing tank water for a bit before putting it in. This allows some of the good bacteria from the water to mix into the filter before hand.

If you are going to use this for a betta I would not put a "bigger" filter on as they do not do well in moving water. This small of a tank really cannot be "cycled" anyway so you would need to replace the water weekly anyway.

no it can't but this filter is not for small applications the smallest tank i would run it on is a 55 gallon

I wouldn't use it in such a small tank. I got this filter for my 5 gallon tank and it fits perfectly so a 1 gallon tank sounds like it would be too small. It is a nice filter though! :)

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