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 20 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 20 gallons (130 GPH). Convenient color coding makes it simple to choose the correct size replacement cartridge – use with size large Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges (blue 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.

  • Perfect for my smaller tank
Size: 20-Gallon
I purchased this filter for one of my smaller 10 gallon tanks that houses shrimp and Endlers. I tend to lean towards over filtration on small tanks that hold a lot of shrimps and small fish. The flow is not powerful enough to push all of them around, even on full throttle and it filters a ton of water. I have this in my bedroom and cannot hear it at night even though its only feet away. I will recommend that if you intend to use this with shrimp or fish fry, you purchase a pre-filter sponge to stop little ones from getting sucked into the filter. ... show more

  • Love this thing!
Size: 30-Gallon
I have a 25/30 gallon tank that I couldn’t keep clean longer than 5 or 6 days. A friend recommended this and I am so glad she did. I turn it on low (can adjust how strong it filters, *very convenient*) while I’m at work and shut it off when I get home. The tank stays super clean, the refill filters are affordable and my fish and frogs are thriving. Business will be continued! ... show more

  • Whisper is right!
Size: 30-Gallon
We ordered this as we knew an old filter by topfin was dying. This quiet and extremely effective filter had water clean quite quick after some of the bottom soil was moved around. I would recommend this to other fish keepers!

  • Not a low profile unit
Size: 20-Gallon
Filter works well and it’s nice that you can adjust the speed. However, the unit is a little large and it’s not exactly compact. I had to trim the hood on my aquarium so that this could fit.

  • Works great
Size: 30-Gallon

  • Works well
Size: 45-Gallon
Perfer SeaChem but needed a slightly smaller filter. Like the in tank power head so self priming. Large basket for various filter media set ups. Quiet.

  • It has no right being this good
Size: 30-Gallon
Honestly, this cheap thing shouldn't be the filter I find to be the most reliable. It's kind of like how McDonald's has no business making oatmeal that good. But it's the best oatmeal. And this is a great filter. Don't waste your money on pricey filters. Hey this instead

  • Quiet and easy to set up
