Description

The Tetra® Whisper® IQ Power Filter with Stay Clean™ technology keeps aquarium water clean and clear. This quiet filter contains a soft barrier between the motor and the filter that serves as a sound shield to minimize noise. The bio- scrubber cultivates aerobic bacteria to remove toxic ammonia and nitrite, and the smart path spillway oxygenates the water and agitates the surface. With a self-priming, submerged motor and adjustable intake to fit your aquarium’s needs, the Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filter is perfect for use with both freshwater and marine fish. Works with easy-to-change Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag® Filter Cartridges with Stay Clean technology – helps reduce buildup on aquarium glass, bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter and stabilize pH levels to prevent crashes, meaning easier aquarium maintenance for you. Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filters are available in a range of sizes to fit your aquarium. This Tetra Whisper IQ 10 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 10 gallons (105 GPH). Convenient color coding makes it simple to choose the correct size replacement cartridge – use with size medium Tetra Whisper Bio- Bag Filter Cartridges (green packaging). Since 1951, Tetra has developed the world’s most comprehensive body of fish food knowledge, and fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the brand for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

    • Quiet, efficient, and reliable filter
Size: 45-Gallon
The media could not be loaded. This filter has worked very well in my aquarium. It is easy to install, operates quietly, and helps keep the water clean and clear. The water flow is steady without disturbing the fish, which is very important to me. Overall, it is a reliable product that performs as described. I would recommend it for small to medium-sized aquariums. ... show more

    • Strong flow and very quiet. Lightweight too.
Size: 45-Gallon
I have only had mine a few days, and one of them for even less time than that, but the water flow compared to my old ones is fabulous. They are so quiet! And they make such nice water sounds. My bristlenose plecos love a strong flow and lots of bubbles, and these Tetras provide both. I have two of these filters on my 56 gallon planted tank, minus the included carbon filters (I use mesh). I really hope these last a while; they are superior so var. ... show more

    • Probably just user error
Size: 45-Gallon
My tank is taller than an average 40 gallon tank so this just barely works for my fish tank struggled to get it together and working, but I’ve had no issues since installing. It works pretty well so far.

    • Really great
Size: 45-Gallon
This is the fastest, easiest to assemble, and quietest aquarium filter I've ever used. I truly do mean that. The adjustable flow control is awesome. I'm super pleased with this filter. I hope it lasts for a long time. So far, so good!

    • Great Filter Running in a 55 Gallon tank
Size: 60-Gallon
This IQ Power filter is amazing! I’m running it in my 55-gallon tank even though it’s rated for 60 gallons, and it has been going strong for months with absolutely no issues. Water stays crystal clear, and the flow is perfect for my fish. Super reliable and well-built—I highly recommend it!

    • The adjustable flow makes the 10 gallon filter perfect for a fry tank
Size: 10-Gallon
Tetra whisper IQ power filter 10 gallons: I love the adjustable flow. I wanted a hob for my 10 gallon cory fry tank, the sponge filter just wasn’t cutting it on keeping the tank looking clean. The 1st hob I tried didn’t have an adjustable flow and the fry were clearly struggling in the current it created. So I got this tetra filter. I’ve only had it running a few days but so far couldn’t be happier with it. I have it on a medium/low flow setting and it’s perfect for the fry. It was easy to set up. I didn’t use the adjustable intake tube, that would have been too long. Without the intake tube, the intake sits right in the middle of the tank. And a small intake pre filter sponge fits nicely on it, don’t even need to secure it with a zip tie. I cut some filter sponges to fit where the disposable cartridges go. I also love it has an internal pump, why some others don’t have an internal pump is beyond me. It’s not very noisy which is nice also. All in all, the adjustable flow and easy pre filter sponge application/maintenance makes the 10 gallon filter a great fry tank filter in my opinion. I paid $13.99 before tax for it, which seems like a good price. ... show more

    • Low price filter for smaller tanks
Size: 10-Gallon
It’s very quiet but can make a bit of vibrational noise if the cover is misaligned. No big deal. You can just readjust it. Maintenance is very simple. The siphon self starts after you power it up, so there’s no need to fill it with water beforehand. There’s also plenty of room in the canister for media of your choice. The water flow is strong initially, after a filter media change, but after a few weeks of use, it tends to slow down to a near drip, especially if you have a lot of sponges, floss or carbon in there. Its main drawback, imo, is its size. It’s bulky. I have it hanging on the back of a tiny 5 gallon nano tank and it looks a little out of place in relation to the small tank. Otherwise, decent HOB filter for small aquariums, at a very low price . ... show more
