I use this exact filter (however mine has the UV light)
I have one for my 4ft tropical community tank and one for my 4x2x2 turtle tank
They both work perfectly - have had them running for 6 months now with no issues.....
Cleaning - haven't had to do it since installed
just your general 20% water change weekly
my turtles seemed to have grown alot better since getting this filter (changed from another cannister, can't remember brand) and I think it has something to do with the UV clarifier, I reckon it puts more electrolytes in the water or something

UV sterilizers are good for keeping algae and diseases under control. Eveything that passes the UV light dies so helps keep disease under control. Canister filter probably the best for turtles, they are grubs
