I have 3 red foot tortoises in the land area, and 3 red bellies in the aquatic area. You were correct(I was going to check the label to be sure it was exactly the same) in assuming that I have the Bio-force filter. It was easy as pie to install and quite easy to clean(quick tip, do not bury it too deep in the ground as it is more difficult to clean that way). A tip for the pump, not sure if you are using a similar one, but this was a HUGE help for me. The pump comes with this terrible sponge type filter so that junk doesn't make it through. Trash that sponge and get a lilly basket, put the pump at the bottom of the lilly basket, and surround the pump by filling in the basket with small river rocks(or marbles). The sponge thing gets clogged in one day and I found myself having to clean it every single day if I wanted my waterfall to flow. Trading the sponge for the rocks gives me at least 2 weeks, sometimes a month, before I have to pay any attention to it. Once a day vs. once a month is a wonderful trade-off. If this is confusing send me an e-mail for clarification...
