Review: Aquarium filter - Product is very good but not working in UAE Review: Best filter I have bought in decades, provided it endures. The flow control was tricky, the difference between trickle and waterfall is a tiny move of the dial, but just having flow control is the main point. It's VERY quiet. I hear the trickle of water, not the filter. The filters themselves are sold as kits you can make for very cheap. The flow control/suction goes pretty fast, i suspect you could use this for a 50G freshwater tank in a pinch. ## Features - QUIET AQUARIUM FILTER: The Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filter with Stay Clean technology contains a sound shield for quiet filtration less than 40 dB. - SELF PRIMING: Submerged motor starts up with no priming required. - CAPACITY: The Tetra Whisper IQ 30 Power Filter works in filters up to 30 gallons (175 GPH). - STAY CLEAN TECHNOLOGY: By maintaining healthy pH levels, creates easier maintenance for healthier fish. - CARTRIDGE REFILLS: Change cartridges monthly; uses large-sized Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges (refills sold separately). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NB1GCQY | | Allergen Information | Cashews | | Batteries | Product Specific batteries required. | | Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,579 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #2,620 in Aquarium Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (12,734) | | Date First Available | 6 February 2017 | | Item Form | other | | Item Weight | 907 g | | Item model number | 78002-00 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Life Stage | Baby | | Product Dimensions | 17.46 x 15.56 x 20.96 cm; 907.18 g | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 30-Gallon | | Specific Uses | Teeth | | batteries required | No | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tetra - **Capacity:** 30 Gallons - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00046798780021 - **Included Components:** See Label - **Item Weight:** 2 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Tetra - **Material:** Plastic - **Model Name:** Whisper IQ Power Filter - **Product Dimensions:** 6.88"L x 6.13"W x 6.88"H - **UPC:** 046798780021 ## Images ![Whisper IQ Power Filter, 175 GPH, with Stay Clean Technology, 30 Gallons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91amRCg3P0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with any filters?** A: One filter prefilled with carbon. **Q: On the 10 gallon version, how far does the intake extend into the aquarium?** A: Its adjustable, but my normal size and shape 10gal tank requires me to use this without the telescoping tube, and leaves the intake in a perfect place without it! The body itself goes 4in+ into the water so with that extra 6in adjustable tube (that gets almost 12in when extended) it didn't fit in my tank with the 4+in intake section connected **Q: Can this be used for an Axolotl?** A: Yes. I use that for my axolotl fir about 2 months. No problem. Very good. **Q: Will this model of the Tetra is 45 handle a 55 gallon ok?** A: The 45 model would not be enough for a 55 gallon tank on its own. Two of them would work, one at each end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Aquarium filter *by K***A on 23 November 2025* Product is very good but not working in UAE ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***L on 16 May 2023* Best filter I have bought in decades, provided it endures.
