In-Tank Filters are unusually quiet, since the motor is under the water. Offering the same quality and performance as an external filter, the Whisper In-Tank Filter will function in as little as 2 inches of water -- making it ideal for turtle tanks, or for creating a waterfall inside the tank.The Whisper In-Tank filter features adjusts easily to high or low water levels with mounting suction cups and/or bracket. Each filter comes with one pre-assembled Whisper Bio-Bag filter cartridge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a filter cartridge
Answer:	Comes with the filter cartridge and bio-scrubber which works much better than previous models. I'm very happy with this filter. Have 2 turtles (that are very dirty) and it keeps my water crystal clear.
Question:	Would a small fish get sucked up in this filter? I have a 2 month old beta who is just recently getting color fins but still very small
Answer:	it would. Because the fish has to sleep. Unless you have a bigger tank, it will be sucked in when they fell asleep even if she is strong to swim away while awake. I would cover the water intake with filter mesh or unwanted nylon silk stockings
Question:	Where can I just get the Bioscrubber
Answer:	Hello. You can get it at a pet store, amazon has some, grocery stores with a pet section...they are pretty easy to find.
Question:	What size replacement filter cartridge for this unit...small, med
Answer:	The Tetra Bio-Bag Large (formerly known as Regular) are the exact same as the filter bag supplied with the Tetra Whisper In-Tank filter 20i. I got both from Amazon: filter $11.89; 12 cartridges $12.28. These filters last a long time, can be cleaned and reused. For my purpose, this filter has been great.

User questions & answers

Question:	on average how often should they be changed on a 3 gallon tank
Answer:	I change mine every month. This prevents algae from forming in the tank and help keep your fish happy. But make sure you either use water conditioning drops or let the water you will be using to fill the tank sit for at least 48 hours. I keep three 1 gallon containers on the side so I can change my tank water every month. (Also, did you know that the water from your fish tank is great for your house/garden plants.) Let me know if you have any further questions.
Question:	what are the dimensions of the bags
Answer:	They are 4.6" wide by 6.4" high, Stefan. Thanks for inquiring!
Question:	Is this the same as a Top Fin "Element" filter cartridge
Answer:	Not exactly. I tried this one on mine and although it fit, I had to really squeeze it in. I think I kind of left a dent on my filters, but it works! This is also worth it considering Top Fin’s prices are more expensive for sure.
Question:	What direction should the "cloth" side of the filter face? (Outside or Inside
Answer:	The plastic goes toward the tank. Water flows through the cloth side, and that is where poop and other solid material should get lodged. The water then flows through the cloth to the activated carbon. The water should always be filtered before it gets to the activated carbon, as the carbon removes gases and not solid material. The water then flows through the slots in the plastic side back into the tank. If you turn it the other way around, water flows through the plastic part directly to the activated carbon, where the carbon will quickly stop working because it would get clogged with poop. The plastic is not designed to be part of the filter, just to return water to the tank. Again, you want poop and other solid material stuck in the cloth side before the water gets to the activated carbon inside. Plastic side goes to tank, cloth side is ALWAYS IN ALL FILTERS the first thing the "dirty" water is supposed to touch.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to return this bio wheel penguin 200 power filter.? i just wanted the bio wheel filter by it self
Answer:	I honestly dont think that's how it works. You'll have to return the whole item and find a listing for just the bio wheel.
Question:	Is there room inside for a water softener pillow
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in this Penguin filter, Biancat! Yes, you should have plenty of room for a water softener pillow. For more personalized assistance, please contact us directly via [email protected].
Question:	does it come with the bio wheel and filter
Answer:	Just purchased the 200 size yesterday and it included one bio-wheel and one cartridge. Just thought I'd mention that since no answers have been posted in the last year and packaging may or may not have changed in that time.
Question:	The bio wheel on our filter (new) is extremely noisey - has anyone else experienced this
Answer:	I can't take it anymore. I had to remove the bio wheel. The noise is not bubbles, not impeller, it is the wheel spraying water due to centrifugal force. Remove it... silent. I replaced my 20 year old Penguin 200 with the new one and HATE IT. 100% REGRET. ZERO STARS.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this filter effective for turtles
Answer:	In order to use this filter for a turtle aquarium, your water level must stay ABOVE the minimum water level line at all times, which means it needs to be within 3-4 inches of the top of the tank. This is a problem with most turtle tanks unless you have a Turtle Topper. Otherwise, it will work well for a turtle tank.
Question:	Could you add a sponge filter to the intake so it becomes Fry friendly
Answer:	Yes, you sure could! You could use sponge media or filter floss. Just be sure to clean or replace it whenever it becomes clogged.
Question:	Does it have a warranty
Answer:	Yes, it comes with a 3 year warranty on all manufacturer's defects. This does not include normal wear and tear or abuse, of course, but Tetra has a very liberal warranty policy. If you need warranty help, call 1-800-526-0650.
Question:	does this come with biobag and carbon filters or do u have to buy some
Answer:	Your initial purchase of the filter includes the Whisper Bio Bags ( 1 of them for the models 20, 30 and 45, 2 for the 70) and the Bio Scrubbers (again, 1 for the 20, 30, 45 models and 2 for the 70). You should replace your cartridges on a monthly basis, but can rinse them in between changes. The Bio Scrubbers should literally last forever, unless you lose them or damage them somehow. Wash these off in a bucket of tank water with a toothbrush.

The Tetra Whisper EX filter can be used in turtle tanks. The water level must stay above the minimum water level line at all times, which means it needs to be within 3-4 inches of the top of the tank.

Step 1

Remove all packaging and attach strainer (and extension tubes, if necessary) so that strainer will be no closer than 2" to aquarium gravel once the system is hanging on aquarium frame.

Step 2

Hang system on aquarium frame. Be sure aquarium water is at or above the minimum water level indicated on system's motor assembly.

Step 3

Once system is properly in place, plug filtration system into outlet being sure to average a drip loop with the power cord.

User questions & answers

Question:	medium size it's for 10 galons
Answer:	Hi Oscar, the medium size fits the Whisper PF10 and the Whisper 20 Power Filters.
Question:	What is the difference between the 26164 and ATS26164? Both seem to be 12 large Whisper filter cartridges
Answer:	Hi, I use the Medium size whisper filter cartridges...the difference between the 26164 & ATS26164 could be the fact that one is a pre-assembled cartridge and the other is not. I buy the 12 pack of unassembled filters which are quite a bit cheaper and are the identical product. It comes with the white filters, one plastic insert, and small charcoal bags that take a few minutes to assemble. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does it fit topfin power filter
Answer:	I bought these about a month ago for my top fin 10 filter. The cartridge in my top fin 10 is angled inward at the bottom whereas this filter cartridge is more of a rectangular shape. Due to the shape it does not fit the top fin 10 slot. However I kept my old cartridge frame and I'm using this product, everything works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	are these the same as rite size c
Answer:	To answer this question... I need more information regarding the 'rite size C'? What is the brand name of the original filter you use with your system? If the brand name is AquaTech... try searching for that Name followed by size C in the Amazon search window.
Question:	Will these cartridges fit in a Top Fin 75 filter unit
Answer:	No, Terrence, we don't think it will fit, although we have not researched using this cartridge with that filter. The cartridge your filter takes appears to be a very slightly taller, narrower one.

AQUA-TECH EZ-Change Aquarium Filter Cartridge

Each of the AQUA-Tech Power Filters provides this 3-stage filtration for healthier fish and cleaner water.

The first stage of the AQUA-Tech filtration is mechanical. The blue polyfiber pad that is integrated onto the EZ-Change Filter Cartridge screens out dirt and debris as water passes through.

The second stage of the AQUA-Tech filtration is chemical. The activated carbon that is in the EZ-Change Filter Cartridge removes dissolved waste and cleans the water of odors.

The third stage of the AQUA-Tech filtration is biological. The BIO-Fiber that is included in each AQUA-Tech Power Filter provides additional surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow and thrive. The bacteria then eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrites that can be fatal to fish. You should never clean or throw away the BIO-Fiber. If the BIO-Fiber becomes too clogged, rinse it with conditioned water only.

Thank you and have a great day.
Question:	If I have a 72 gallon bow front tank, would these work good enough if I bought two to keep the tank clear
Answer:	I would suggest a stronger filter than aquatech, which works for smaller variety up to 60 g. You should go for aquaclear 70 or 110, they are great but are costly. I always aim for higher recommended capacity, for example for a 10 g, I would buy a filter for 20g. They are better for the long run. It's also based on your fish if they prefer low or high flow, aquaclear lets you control the flow and has three stages of filtration, which is why I like it, but aquatech is a good starter option I've had it for a couple years and I mean it does its job.

Aqua-Tech Power Aquarium Filter w/ 3-Step Filtration

Description:

Filters are a very important piece of equipment in an aquarium and critical to your aquarium’s success. The job of the filter is to move the water through the filter cartridge where it is processed to remove odors and small particles of waste and through the BIO-Fiber to eliminate the toxic ammonia and nitrites from the aquarium water. Each of the AQUA-Tech Power Filters provides 3-stage filtration for fish and cleaner water.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this filter fit the Aqueon Quite flow Canister 300 polishing unit
Answer:	Yes, that is the cartridge is uses
Question:	Does size large fit the aqueon quietflo led pro power filter
Answer:	Mine is the 2 filter 75 gallon tank and they fit fine
Question:	What is the proper method for changing these without breaking your tanks cycle
Answer:	Changing the cartridge will have no impact on the biological cycle as the beneficial bacteria is on the biogrid as well as items in the tank. All you need to do is remove the old cartridge, rinse the new one to remove any excess charcoal dust and place it in the holder. We do not recommend doing anything more than possibly rinse in aquarium water for the cartridge holder as that would decrease the beneficial bacteria in the system. Some people scrub it each month in the sink which is absolutely not the right thing to do
Question:	What are the dimension of large
Answer:	The large cartridge measures 5 1/4 x 1/2 x 7 inches
