Sponge Filters for Turtle Tank?

[Joe L.]

Howdy! I recently saw the video on Cory's fish room, and ever since, I've been thinking about using sponge filters to run my 55 gallon that houses three sliders. I've mostly run sponge filters in my tanks with the exception of an internal filter in this tank, but it's a pain in the butt to get it cleaned. If @Cory could hop on here, do you think some sponge filters would work for my turtle tank?

I am about to test a medium sponge pre-filter with the Aquarium Co-Op power head. This is a learning thread for aquarists helping turtles:

@Streetwise  Thank you so much for the resource! I would love to see and hear how it goes on your turtle tank because I have been struggling with mine for a while now.
