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 30 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 30 gallons (175 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.

  • Good Value
Size: 45-Gallon
This replaced the original Tetra Filter that recently stopped working after several years of service. I've had it for about a month now. It's a little larger than my original filter. I found it to be very quiet. I especially like being able to control the rate of water exchange and I can use the same filters as I used with my older discontinued model, a big plus. I use it on my 40 gallon-high tank. I'm very happy with it's performance. ... show more

  • Great Clear Water
Size: 20-Gallon
This filter system works great! It has been over seven days and the tank is clear and fresh. It was easy to install and is very quiet.

  • Pretty Decent
Size: 45-Gallon
This product does a great job of moving water and keeping the tank clean. The only bad thing is that it seems to be cheaply made and some parts don’t fit together perfectly. Other than that it works great and is very quiet!

  • Runs great, but not working out for me
Size: 30-Gallon
The filter runs great, flow adjusts to my fishs' needs. However, there's not enough room between my tank and the wall for this filter. Because of this, the cover doesnt fit on the filter and the pump hums super loudly. It's a really good filter, does its job and all, it just doesn't fit on my tank properly. ... show more

  • Instant instal very quiet
Size: 45-Gallon
Added to a 29 gallon turtle tank. Seems to be keeping up well and the motor runs very quietly. Comes assembled only needing to add the tube extensions. Comes with a filter and the ability to adjust the flow rate with a simple lever on top of the unit

  • Worked WAY Better than I thought it would for my axolotls
Size: 30-Gallon
I have 2 axolotls in a 20 gallon long tank and had a whisper bio wheel set up before. All the rage was to use sponge filters so I dumped that bio wheel (the wheel part rarely worked) and bought two sponge filters, one was a air driven and the other was a twin pump driven. I noticed that often the tank would struggle to keep clear, even after water changes it was pretty bad. On a hunch I got the 30 gallon sized Tetra, this is oversized but I typically oversize filters a bit. It took 3 days but the tank is crystal clear running this and the single air driven sponge, I would not have believed it would work this well. I keep the pump on a lower setting on the tetra, it was raging pretty fast when it was on full blast. I haven't changed the cartridge yet but will work on a hack so I don't have to keep buying expensive replacements. ... show more

  • Dependable, Quiet & Fair Price
Size: 60-Gallon
My daughter and I have used this same model from a previous purchase for over a year and it is still going strong. recently we wanted to setup more aquariums so obviously we wanted more of the same filters/pumps. Unfortunately as you see in the picture, one of the two plastic good bacteria inserts wouldn't fully seat when inserted. I tried switching sides and the same in plastic insert would not seat in either side, whereas the other one seated correctly in either side. I matched them both up together and didn't notice any difference between them but clearly there has to be some difference. Anyway, I thought that I should leave a review about this prior to returning it as defective. ... show more

  • Works. For the price
Size: 20-Gallon
I used this for my 10g tank. Honestly works pretty good for the price. But as other have said. The fit of its components are a little off. Even with brand new filters, it over flows along the intake tube. I would think that should only happen if the filter was dirty. Knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't recommend unless your just trying to have a cheap simple set up. (Like a 10 gal). It is working, keeping the tank clean, low noise as well. ... show more
