Okay, I have a definite ID from the turtle forum:

I got farm mutt map turtles. And one of them added, "and very pretty ones at that!".

They both appear to be males so they are going to be smaller than the females. About 5" each turtle.

So, that's 10" which is 100 gallons. I need a canister filter good for at least 200 gallons. Yikes. This is getting to be a very expensive adoption!

Hiya, on my 125 I am running a ehiem 2217 classic and a cascade700 . I have a large cooter and a musk turtle in the tank and the water is very clear. ehiems can be a bit expensive but I find that they run great and filter really well. I like the cascade also but I think the ehiem is a better filter.
