nah the turtles are well fed i feed them each 5 or 6 meal worms and turtle pellets every day along with the feeder fish guppies they catch between meals everyone groups up at feeding time i feed them by hand and everyone waits their turn and painted or sliders are very friendly to other turtles hell the lil one climbs on top of the big one sometimes just so he can be closer to the lamp neither one cares ill post a pic next time i see it

I know that the larger the tank you put turtles in, the faster they grow. I can't tell you much about filter systems and such, but I can assure you there's no reason to buy what you need new. I surf craigslist a lot and see adds for stuff like this all the time.
