Answer:	That shouldn't be a problem in terms of it working properly in the Aquaclear 50 filter.
Question:	Does it come with a pre-filter? Also do the tetra whisper small cartridges fit
Answer:	It depends on the size of tank, what filter you have and what media you use. Typically you will empty the bag each month when you replace the activated carbon.

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:	I am getting so frustrated. I bought two of these so far and they are so Loud. What am I doing wrong
Answer:	All the sound that I hear is the water return to the tank and that isn't much noise
Question:	How does this compare to the Marineland
Answer:	I have a 40 gallon high, so all I can offer is good for my needs. Quiet and powerful. My tank is always clean and my fish are active. Good choice.
Question:	The 250 gph unit how much does it go into the tank and how much room does it need behind the tank
Answer:	It is actually very thin. It will only fit on the rim of a typical glass aquarium. It will most likely not fit on an acrylic tank which has a larger rim. It only needs about 8-10" behind the tank. But the more room you give it the easier it will be for maintenance.
Question:	Can i put Marineland Bio-Balls inside this? I currently have an Aqueon 20 but theres no room for sufficient media
Answer:	Disclaimer: I have a 30, not a 50, but I can understand the design of the whole line from the model I own.The aqueon quietflow filters are really designed around their cartridges, or similar floss pad/sponge pad filtration. The blue plastic holder for the cartridge, and the blue plastic pins at the output are intended to provide some biological growth area for this filter, and that's about all you'll get out of this lineup. The design of this whole line isn't intended to use with loose or bagged media, and the same applies to nearly all hang-on-back filters other than the AquaClear models and the Fluval C series (ie: c2, c3, c4). In general these hang-on-back cartridge type filters need a vertically hanging thin sheet of media, with a open space along the back to allow water to flow out and across the media. Bioballs, ceramic noodles, whatever don't really want to hang in a thin vertical sheet.There's a bit of DIY hacking going on out there to refit cartridge-type HOB filters to use generic media, but this is mostly replacing the cartridge with sponge or floss, and not adding biomedia.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a small 5 gallon tank. Can this filter fit on that size tank
Answer:	I don't know about it dimensionally but this is really made for a 10-20 gallon tank. The force of the water flow might be too great for a tank that small. You need to buy a filter sized for your tank and I've never looked for a 5 gallon filter before. I just googled it and got some results but I don't want to suggest something I haven't tried.
Question:	Can anyone tell me how tall this filter is from the very top edge of the tank to the top of the filter, I have very little clearance and need to know this info
Answer:	The filter is 2-1/8 inches from the rim of the tank to the top of the lid. However, you will need a good six or seven inches above the tank to remove it for cleaning if the filter is left whole when you remove it. You could disassemble the pump from the filter while it is still in the tank and get away with just over four inches of clearance and remove just the tank portion of the filter for cleaning. For this kind of clearance problem a small remote canister filter might be a better choice.
Question:	This looks like the filter I just got on a 10 gl tank, no info on filter, just "Aqueon" has a filter cartridge, I measured 4 x 4.5 what is size
Answer:	The filter is 4.5" wide, and 4.25" high.
Question:	Do I need a bubble disk for oxygen or extra aeration, or will this filter suffice
Answer:	My experience says you should always use a bubbler in addition to your filter! I add a bubbler for extra breaking of the surface tension and gas release from the aquarium (which helps saturate more oxygen in the water). I've run these Aqueon filters without a bubbler, but the fish seem to be more lethargic with the filter alone. The bubbler is cheap insurance. I am currently running nine tanks ranging from 10 gallons to 180 gallons and have put a bubbler in all of them. On most of the tanks the bubbler is on a battery backup. If a power failure takes down your filter, a bubbler alone can keep a healthy tank alive for days.

Question:	Whats the actual measurement of the filter? Size from top to bottom, from side to side, I know what power filters it fits, but I need the measurements
Answer:	Just to give an idea since DVD cases can be different sizes, I have 7 shelves on each side with anywhere from 17-20 per shelf....so figure it could be up to 560. I can also fit 18 Xbox 360 games per shelf (a little more consistent in size). Hope that helps.
