Decor, basking and filtration all-in-one!. Turtles can easily climb up the ramp and bask on a naturalistic surface. Quietly filters the water while creating a gentle waterfall effect. Great for use with Zilla Water Conditioner. Uses size Large Zilla Replacement Filter Cartridges.

Turtle Approved Aquarium Pumps and Filters

Love This Stone! My turtle loves it even more! I still use another filter but it works fantastic, it catches the stuff that floats to the bottom and helps circulate the water in the tank. The tank is also clean. Best purchase so far for my turtle plus she can't tip it over as he keeps making another filter! As you can see in the picture I fixed his cage. He loves to stretch and relax

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Not Bad

It's a good size for a 40 gallon tank

It's very hard to find a swim platform for large turtles (we have 6x8's). This is a good size for a 40 liter aquarium. It was slightly damaged probably due to handling but we just kept it as it wasn't very visible and the filter was working properly. I may need another filter to keep the water cleaner. It was easy to set up and a great addition to the aquarium.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Quick guide

Exactly what I expected

I use this platform in a 50 gallon tank. The product is not intended for a pool of this size, but I was planning to use it with another filter. At first my painted turtle didn't go up. I built him a ramp out of a rock and now he's climbing up there. I like the way it looks in the aquarium. I know the main question I had before buying it was how loud the motor is in it. I have a tank in my living room where we watch TV and this filter is very quiet.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Weight

Not for hatching turtles

Unfortunately I have to give a negative review. So I would like to say that I like it in principle and conceptually. But the design needs improvement. That's too much for a 10 liter tank. Fits, but takes up too much space. Within a month the black paint was peeling off very quickly. I can't have 2 turtles that eat paint. Also, the water on the side of the filter never rises high enough to fully utilize the filter. Otherwise my little tortoises enjoyed climbing it but couldn't do the last step…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Difficult to say

40 gallons not 20 as shown

THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT VERIFICATION. However, I wanted to clarify that while the image says LARGE for a 20 gallon or larger terrarium, it is actually intended for a 40 gallon or larger terrarium. Although it would fit in my 20 gallon terrarium it was quite large and then I saw on the box that it was a 40 gallon terrarium not a 20 gallon terrarium. If I had known it was for a 40 gram tank I would have bought a small one right away. The instructions were also for the little ones, not the big ones,

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Small Parts
