Habitat - Indoor :: Anyone using the new API Nexx filters?

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Setting up a new tank and thinking of giving this setup a try. You can get a decent deal off amazon for the main filter and extension which says it covers 110gallons. The low GPH flow rate is what scares me. It looks so easy to maintain its almost scary which is what I like. The pump being inside the tank is a bummer but it's not big either.

Looking at it you could almost buy a expansion filter and go with your own pump/tubing.
I build acrylic ATBAs.

They're terrible filters for a turtle and are on our not recommended list. They don't have enough media capacity to deal with the high bioload of a turtle even with the expansion.
