Turtles can be messy, however I have used canister filters many times
for my customers turtle tanks (I had one customer with a pair of rare
Reeves Turtles).

I also preferred to connect a UV Sterilizer to these canister filters
to prevent disease, in particular Salmonella.
I recommend reading more here:

As to the Eheim 2026 this is an excellent filter (as all Eheims are
with the exception of their Wet/Dry model), and the use of the media
that comes with or for this filter is fine.
However I personally prefer the Via Aqua 750 Filter for the money.
Very reliable, with excellent head pressure (which is a good thing for
Canister filters), and a better value.
