Heavy Duty Turtle Filter
2 Months back I bought a Rena Filstar XP4 canister filter for my turtle tank. After 2 months of use I wanna say this filter does a great job, it filters the 45 gallon tank with 2 turtles which everyone knows poop like there was no tommorrow really well. The water is always clean and no odors. 1 Week ago I cleaned it out and I was surprised how easy it is to clean, and the 4 media baskets give lots of room for all sorts of media to suit any custom needs.
Features include:
- Self Priming easy start system.
- Up to 265 Gallon Aquarium
- Built in handles for easy carrying during matinenance
- 4 media baskets to meet your filtration needs
- 3-stage filtration: mechanical, chemical & biological�
- 20 ppi open-cell foam x2 for removal of course debris
- 30 ppi open-cell foam x2 for removal of fine debris
- Micro-filtration pad for removal of ultra fine debris
- Bio-Chem Zorb for removal of amonia and odors from water
- Bio Chem Stars x20 for biological filtration

my canister filer leaks water for some reason when i plug it up through the handles for some reason im not sure how to fix it
Check to make sure the seal on the lid is still there and not deteriorated. If the seal is damaged go to your local pet store and order the replacement seal for it. And make sure when you close it that all the baskets inside are sitting level cuz if there not it will not close properly.
