Ugh, I'm in the same boat. I just wish I would have sprung for a 90 gallon instead of a 55 to begin with, because more upgrades need to be made now. My husband thinks I have lost my mind over this turtle business. When I first moved him into the 55 is looked HUGE to me, now all I think about is bigger aquariums... more powerful filters... etc...

I never would have thought a turtle could be so expensive, or that they could bring so much joy and peace to my life. It's worth it!

'Tis why I suggest the FX5 to most everyone. It's a one time purchase. Same with the Purigen over carbon...use it for a year. A 75Gallon tank and a 90 gallon tank fit on the same stand and take the same size canopy / hood. The eheim Jager heaters last 15+ years, the others don't. Buying cheap at first then having to upgrade later will kill your wallet. It's true for most any hobby.
