will this work on a turtle tank? 40breeder...I ask cause I have it almost full of water, will putting this stand under the tank cause it to be unlevel

Yes it would and may crack your tank, if someone or something puts any try of pressure on it, so i will recommend that you get a piece of plywood at lease quarter inch thick under your tank and thin the stand under the plywood, ok.

the part that goes under the tank is flat...kinda like a spatula...jus keep it high enough about the tank, the edges of the screen or tank top are plastic...if too low it WILL MELT it...and you wont smell or see it...the bulbs are VERRRRRRRRRRY hot... and swivels/hangs above it...my son did it while feeding his bearded dragon, he used swivel the arm of the stand to the left or right and thats when he burned the edges of his tank...

It will not work if your tank is flat on the bottom. I guess it could but it might damage your tank or the stand because of tg heaviness of the water.I bought the one that sticks on to the side of the tank for my turtles. But if your tank has cut outs likely dragon tank it will work just fine.

The part that goes under the tank is very flat, So it should be pretty level. So yea this will work

It will work just fine. Place in the tank where you want it, place gravel/rocks around it. Hook it up to an air pump and plug into an electrical outlet. Done!

I believe this heater will be way too much for your small tank. I use this in winter only for 20 gal tank for a turtle. Hope this helps. Don't fry your fish!

It'll probably be too tall. I have a 36 gallon tank and it's too talk for my tank.

This will hold the 20 gal on top. But the lower shelf will only hold critter keeper size enclosures. I was disappointed as I have several 20 and 10 gal tanks. Fortunately , I have critter keepers too , so the shelf came of use. I am still looking for units that will hold my other tanks w/ lighting fixtures above. I have reptiles and amphibians , not fish .

I have mine mounted on a standard 10 gallon tank and it seem to work OK. It's not as tight as I would like but it will work.

I would highly recommend getting a thermometer. It kept mine at about 76 degrees F. I'm sure you could use it for your turtles, but make sure you keep the temp in the turtle range and dont boil them. I don't know much about turtles. I think the directions it comes with says to mount it vertically, but as long as you let it acclimate to the water before turning it on, it should be fine no matter how it lays. The comment about how many gallons of water you try to heat is very crucial. I hope this helps!

This is not a suitable filter for any aquarium setup , where the water level is more then three inches below the top of the tank. Unless you intend to use the filter system without the hard straight pipe that comes with it...If you just use the rubber hose then it will work just fine..Simply adjust the depth to the desired level and make sure the suction or drain side is at least three to four inches below the water line.....

My turtle tank I only had it quarter filled with water so the rocks for the turtle would be out of the water for them to sit in heat lamps, so I only had about 10-15 gallons of water running through pump and it works fine. I think it would work in 20 gallon you could have two pumps going.

Yes, it should be good for a 40 gallon tank. I have a 29 gallon with a Whisper 30-60, but I have other accessories.

Is there anything else in there besides the turtle? If you want to use this one just do the math and make sure there's enough room to fit the skimmer in there. The water level needs to stay pretty consistent, otherwise it doesn't work that great.

Sure but might be overkill for a few turtles. I would say that if it is a large tank with a lot of turtles it would do really well. However if it is a smaller tank with just a few you are pushing a lot of water without cause......

I personally think it would be just fine. The top is flat, not solid, but quite sturdy. It would only be 2 1/2 inches on either side to hang off. I think you will enjoy the stand! We love it.. It's perfect for our aquarium! Hope this helps! Happy shopping!Jenn

It's underneath the tank and the tubes run up to the tank, one feeding in and one feeding out. Probably good for fish but I have turtles and it was not at all adequate -- I barely used it and am looking to sell it cheap ...

I am sure it would work fine for aquatic turtles. Yes, it does sit under the aquarium. I have been very happy with this filter. It does a great job. I have not used it for turtles, but used to have an aquatic turtle and this would have been nice to have for him. I use it on a salt water aquarium and it is definately a plus having the U.V. light in it. Hope this helps!

The cord is really short, and its kind of heavy so I wouldnt try it. I have mine on top of the mesh and my turtle seems fine. Good luck.

I would advise not laying this on its side..if you have a stand it will fit underneath your tank..you can also sit it beside your tank..it not that big to take up that much space...but if you really are pushed for space then maybt you should invest in a HOB filter then...
