Love, Love This Filter!
Okay so… I have a 20 gallon temporarily for my 4 inch turtle. I accidentally bought the smallest of this tetra filter, so I bought the medium sized one in it’s place. I had only had the tank filled halfway anyway since my turtle was only 1.5 inches at this point. Mind you I didn’t realize how fast they grow, and had no idea that Its recommended to have a filter that can filter 2 to 3x the tank size. So I decided to keep both filters in my tank. One on each side. Even though I still don’t reach the recommended filter size, my water now almost filled to the top, stays absolutely clean. Turtles are pretty messy so I still have to do the weekly cleanings and all that extra stuff that apparently those who spend hundreds of dollars on filters still have to do as well. I don’t know if this is some kind of luck thing, I don’t know if maybe my turtle just isn’t that dirty (yea right, I see him)… but I’m actually not looking forward to switching out my filter for the ‘recommended’ filter size, as these filters work so good. I love them.They are both very quiet. Aside from the sound of the water falling back in.. I mean it sounds like a waterfall. Who doesn’t want to hear a waterfall? I love it. This can also be prevented by raising the water level or lowering the filter itself. Basically the closer it is to the water, the quieter it is.Such a simple device, yet so beautifully sufficient.The little one stopped working at one point and I thought… welp there you go! Get what you pay for. But nope! Removed the base, pulled out the magnetic spring propeller and tube, cleaned it out and like magic it started right up as soon as I plugged it back in.Love how easy it is to replace the filters. The filters themselves are great and definitely hold on to some dirtiness.One thing I’ll say is there is quite a bit of unused empty space. I now take advantage by adding some extra media, but I must say that these filters work great even without the extra.Love this filter and would recommend above any other filter.

This fish tank filter has been a solid addition to my aquarium setup. It keeps the water clear and clean, and I’ve noticed a big improvement in overall water quality since using it. It runs consistently without much maintenance and helps maintain a healthy environment for the fish.It’s easy to set up and doesn’t require anything complicated to get started. The flow is steady and helps with circulation without being too strong for the tank. Cleaning it is simple as well, which makes routine maintenance much easier.Overall, it’s a reliable, effective filter that does its job well and helps keep the tank balanced and healthy with minimal effort.

Quiet and effective
I have a 5.5 gallon tank and its works great but obviously will need to change water more often cause its not meant for that size but I have a betta and they dont like alot of water movement so this gentle flow is perfect for her. Also very quiet. When im in the room I dont even notice the sound unless im legit paying attention to it. I noticed when I first installed it was loud but thats because it was not placed correctly so if yours is loud adjust the placement of the filter. Also keep in mind the sound on the video as my phone catches every little sound when I record so its louder in the video then in person. The sound is equivalent to a soft hum

Very impressed with the cleaning capacity!
I was a tad skeptical when I initially purchased this pump/filter. The low cost usually means low quality. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleaning performance. I have a regular 10gallon aquarium for three medium sized goldfish (i know…). I was getting very poor performance from my original filter….water yellowing even after steady filter changes. Pump not starting back up after powering off to perform aquarium maintenance. The smell of the aquarium was definitely an issue.Once I opened the box for this new pump/filter I was taken back by the size of it. It does barely fit in a ten gallon aquarium and it does use a tad more real estate than I’d like it to BUT it is rated 10-20 gallons so my use case is on the lower end of that size spectrum. In preparation for the new filter I literally did nothing. Just dropped it in after setting up the biofilter and charcoal filter and let it do its thing. After 12 hours (yes only 12!) the water was crystal clear! The smell was gone and the fish – amazingly – seemed….happier? They seemed like they were ‘playing’ with each other more? All I know is I was EXTREMELY pleased!Pros:-Cheap!-Efficient – Excellent cleaning performance!-Easy to put together and maintain-Quiet-ish-Bulk filters available for cheap!Cons:-Large – it may be a tad too large for smaller tanks-Instructions not too clear for the bio filter – I learned that the biofilter does NOT snap in place. It acutally hangs in the pump loose until water flows through it. Once the water is flowing, the pressure keeps it in place.-Mounting – it can either use the plastic ‘clip’ to secure it to the aquarium lip OR suction cups to the glass. If you use the clip there are two small holes on the back of the pump that are open and allows for some non filtered water back into the tank. Not a huge deal as it is not a lot compared to how much is actually being filtered.-Not whisper quiet as the title/description says. There is a constant hum that is louder than I would like. I am not a fish expert but I was afraid it would bother the fish. But it’s not a deal breaker for me at least.All in all I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in the market for a new pump/filter…especially with how inexpensive the bulk filters cost. 12 filters for something like $8/year?! That’s a steal.

Tetra Whisper Internal Filter 10 To 30 Gallons is a great product!
Great product!I ordered 4 of these the past few months and the last one I ordered came without a hanging bracket and suction cups. However, I reached out to Tetra and they were kind enough to send me a replacement.This product works great and the Tetra’s customer service is excellent.

Works great, no noise and tank is cleaner.

Plugged it in and it was dead. Waste of time and money, spend it elsewhere. Now I’m left with extra filters that I purchased and a dead pump/filter. Not happy Jan.
