Good filter, suitable for fish and aquatic animals

This is one of the best filters I have found. My RES turtle is VERY dirty and this product does a great job with it. For those who say the filter is noisy, I've been using them for a number of years now and have had many different ones. I've found that placing the water lever closer to where the water exits the filter eliminates noise issues. If you don't need a high water level, keep that in mind with noise issues. These filters have always been very quiet for me!

Pros
  • SIZE For terrariums up to 50 gallons (125 gallons per hour) - TetraFauna ReptoFilter replacement cartridges (large)
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

This requires LARGE filters

I ordered this because the description said medium filters should be used in this unit. Received today and no medium sized replacement cartridges needed, large ones. So now I either have to buy the large cartridges and throw away the medium ones I already have on hand, or struggle with swapping out the large filter for the medium one to use my cartridges. As the turtles have been without a filter for a few days now I feel I should keep and use this large filter but I am not happy with it at…

Pros
  • This is a biological filter - bio-foam cultivates aerobic bacteria which removes toxic ammonia and nitrites
Cons
  • Some bugs

Worked great - then not so much.

I bought this filter for my red eared aquarium. It was good at first, but over time the suction cups barely held and my turtle kept knocking them over. The filter works well, but I have a 40 gallon tank and felt like changing the filter cartridges more often than my previous filter. I would not recommend anyone with a 50 gallon aquarium to buy one without some other type of filtration in their tank. I love Tetra but their products can sometimes be made out of cheap plastic and at the time my…

It works out. Don't Expect Whisper Technology

Do They Work? Why 3 stars? I will tell you. I bought two of these filters from petco when I got my turtle. A few months after the Calcium chunks started making a very loud noise, I apparently ordered new ones from Amazon. I tuned them only to find that the new ones were louder than the old ones! So I thought obviously there must be something wrong with it. A replacement pair of filters arrived the next day (thanks), connected the new ones for 30 minutes, long enough to bag up the old ones and…

Pros
  • Uses Whisper Filter Technology
Cons
  • Everything's Fine
