I will be purchasing a filter for my turtle within these next two days online but I would like some input as to which filter to buy...

Which one do you think would be the better investment, as of now the Zoo Med 511 will cost roughly $95 canadian and the Eheim ecco PRO 2236 $100 canadian

Here is some info on each filter,

I agree. The Zoo Med filters are very weak IMO.

For a few dollars more you can get the Rena XP3 which a big upgrade from the Ecco Pro. The zoo med 511 is rubbish.
