As far as the filter watch the flow rate and get on a regular maintenance schedule , also sound will tell you what's going on. In time it will come to you.
Some say no to the fish. I say yes , guppies are ok less fatty than goldfish , also rosy reds are ok. My opinion , like the fact that the turtle will be able to hunt and get exercise chasing them. Also found my RES sometimes plays with them to keep himself alert. Times he watches them from basking dock , head moving left to right just watching them. Studying them? I keep a separate 70 gallon tank for feeders and breed them much healthier than store feeders. Also grow my own plants there to. Anything to save money , turtle care , not cheap.
