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.

My ride or die
Size: 10-Gallon
I’ve bought this for three different ten gallon tanks. The oldest one of these is two years old- hasn’t broke or bent or anything. Unlike your average PetSmart filter these won’t suck fish in - or at least they haven’t yet for me. These are easy to take apart for yearly cleaning too because all the tubes can be disconnected. These filters also have a super convent little notch you can use to adjust the flow rate. They are also super quiet which is amazing because I keep tanks in the room I sleep in. They start up easily after being plugged in, even if they’re bone dry out of the package. Would recommend them to anyone. ... show more

Filter quality

Could be a little quieter, lol 🙈🫣mistake it often times for a leaking pipe (me running 🏃🏾♀️➡️to see if I have a leaking pipe. Not not impressed about the durability- my 3rd. However, it keeps my tank impeccably clean - water clear as crystal.

Tetra is the only way to go!

Tetra, tried and true for decades. I won't try the over priced crap anymore. Tetra is simple, it's sturdy and is better quality of the expensive stuff.

Good little unit.
Size: 10-Gallon
I liked that this filter was adjustable - The part that goes into the water that suctions the water up can either be shorter or taller. For our 10 gallon tank, we used the shorter one. The filter power is adjustable as well. We just have a beta in there so we keep it on low, seems too powerful in the higher settings. I'd say for being on the cheaper side, it was a good value for our money. Its as quiet as a filter can be i guess lol ... show more

Bad Recommendation?
Size: 45-Gallon
This filter was recommended to me by a friend so I purchased one a few weeks ago. It was working really well until one day the tank started losing water. So much so, that it couldn't be blamed on evaporation. It turns out the filter separated where the spillway and the propeller housing connect. Water was being pumped onto the hardwood floor and under the rug. I am going to see if it can be returned or replaced. If it gets replaced, I'll give it another chance and hopefully write a better review. ... show more
