Turtle tank ideas

[fishbum]

I have an empty standard 55 gallon tank that I am thinking of turning into a turtle tank. I want to fill the tank half full of water,and cut some acrylic and glue/silicone it to the glass for a platform on one side of the tank.I also want to have gravel and a couple pieces of driftwood in the bottom.I was thinking of filtering the 25 or so gallons of water with a cannister filter. Would a cannister work on a tank that is only half full?

yes i beleave a cannister should work fine i have a smaller one on my turtle tank. they have one for turtle tanks but i think just find the one that suits you i dont have any problems with mine and i also use a waterfall with filters they both seem to keep the tank clean.
