Tetra ReptoFilter: Clear-Water Filter for Terrariums - Optimal Filtration Solution Review

Works well. This purchase is a replacement for the same model. We have sand in our turtle tank and I've learned the hard way to make sure the sand settles before the filter runs or the sand will ruin it after a few months. The filter is not to blame. Also, many people complain that it doesn't work properly anymore, but all you have to do is rinse the inside of the filter between the inlets and the impeller with hot water to remove slime and dirt from time to time, and it works fine.

I was initially very happy with the filter. It was quieter than the previous filter (different brand). It has a good flow rate and cleans the tank well. About a month after using it, it suddenly stopped working completely. No sound, no flow, nothing! Contacted about sending another, to return but due to COVID I couldn't get out. I'm not the only one with the same situation and most don't accept returns. I am at high risk for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis so my filter is broken due to my high…

At first glance the top of the filter will not stay in place, but it is not necessary for the filter to do its job. I have to clean the filter once a week but it can be reused if you take out all the junk. My snapping turtle dangles under the waterfall and loves it. When I move the filter, the suction cups on the back pop out easily and are very difficult to put back in. This filter can be improved in many ways, aesthetically and internally, but deserves 4 stars because the water in the tanks…

While this filter is pretty good, I've only had it a few days and it works very well. Very easy to set up and keeps crystal clear water. I have a 10 gallon tank with about 2 1/2 gallons of water for my hatched turtle. I was concerned that the filter might be too strong for my hatchling but she swam around it and had no problem except when she decides to be dirty and goes where the water is pouring out and is a little confused. vicinity. The filter itself only makes a slight buzz, and since my…

Let me start by saying that the filter is indeed a filter. It keeps crystal clear water and has no water quality issues. He is currently filtering a 20 gallon turtle tank that is being raised by babies and is 2/3 full with a few small fish. Easy to clean and easy to replace cartridges. The water level must be kept close to the outlet if it is to be calm, otherwise you will hear the waterfall 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Now the downside, and why am I giving it 3 stars because it's my 3rd. My…

I have a love/hate relationship with this Tetra filter (90gph). When it works, it does an excellent job of keeping our red-eared slider's tank clean. We've had him for 10 years now and I've used a ZooMed filter but it hasn't been enough to keep his tank clean. Also, it was painful to clean. Switched to Tetra in November 2016 (thanks Revain for keeping my order history). This filter worked without problems for 1 year before it became too noisy. I bought the same filter, lasted 4 months before it

Tetra ReptoFilter would be wonderful at twice the price! Here's a QUIET, reliable, and efficient way to keep aquaterrariums clean, fresh, and healthy. Before I ordered and installed this amazingly cheap and powerful filter, my turtle's water was weird, cloudy and smelled a bit like "turtle bowl" (despite frequent partial water changes). I took the device out of the packaging, put in the filter material (only activated carbon and a universal white fiber sleeve), plugged it in and was amazed! The

We have fiddler crabs in a 10 gallon tank. About half of the reservoir is covered with water about three centimeters deep, the other half is a sandy beach. We changed two ReptoFilters within six months. The first filter struggled to pick up water, although we keep the water level at or above the level of the water inlets. If the filter was disconnected while cleaning the tank, once reconnected it will not draw water until we pour at least an additional gallon of water directly into the filter…
