I am fostering two female Eastern box turtles for a local Reptile Rescue.
I used to have a box turtle, and am considering adopting them.
I have a medium Waterland land tub that I got off of Craigslist for $75, a lucky find.
I have added a bulkhead drain with a shut off to the water side to make draining easy into a 5 gallon bucket.
They say the water side holds about 3 gallons.
Of course, with this set up, you can't lift it out and change it. I thought about setting a container down in that side, but it would be large and quite awkward. Thus, the drain.
Questions:
*could I add a filter (connect to drain and recycle back into reservoir)?
*Or should I use something like this connected to a sink (I'd get off of Amazon)?

*any other suggestions?
Just trying to make this a bit easier since box turtles love their water! :/, and I work longer days a couple of days per week and have trouble changing their water on time.
Thanks in advance for any input.
