Filter

I've had my eye on a Exo-Terra Small Turtle Cliff. Its a filter and a basking dock. I just wanna know if it'll keep the water in my 10 gallon tank clean? It's filled up only 3/4 and there's a baby RES

You know it will probably help out, but in all honesty RES are very messy turtles, and complete tank changes are the only thing that will work 100%

I had a tetra fauna 55 gallon filter with whisper technology in a twenty gallon tank that I added extra carbon to the catritages that kept the water super clean. It needed to be changed about every three weeks and rinsed out every few days. Honestly a ten gallon tank is too small for even ONE red eared slider turtle because they can easily reach 12-15 inches if taken care of properly. So u should think about getting a new tank soon

I found more info on it the filter it comes with is the Exo Terra F250 its 66 gallons per hour is it good enough for the tank

For a ten gallon tank? Yes, may be too powerful really but it will work for a while but u really should have went with a 20 gallon long tank to start out with they're only $39.00 at Petco or petsmart

So is the filter useable or not?

I suppose. Some like the combos some don't I personally don't because they can quickly outgrow the basking dock part and depending on it's size they take up alot of room. But that's just my opinion. but yes it would work.

It would work, but really I would just get an internal filter and some real rock for basking on. I used a tetra internal for a temporary 30 gallon setup while I built our 55 gallon tank and I really liked it, easy to clean and quite.
