This quiet filter contains a soft barrier between the motor and the filter that serves as a sound shield to minimize noise. The bio-scrubber cultivates aerobic bacteria to remove toxic ammonia and nitrite, and the smart path spillway oxygenates the water and agitates the surface.

Works with easy-to-change Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges with Stay Clean technology – helps reduce buildup on aquarium glass, bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter and stabilize pH levels to prevent crashes, meaning easier aquarium maintenance for you. Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filters are available in a range of sizes to fit your aquarium. This Tetra Whisper IQ 20 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 20 gallons (130 GPH). Convenient color coding makes it simple to choose the correct size replacement cartridge – use with size large Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges (blue packaging).

Directions See label for details Review: Arrived with pieces missing and parts broken - Could not use!!! 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 - USES STAYCLEAN TECHNOLOGY: A quiet, durable and easy filter system that uses Stay Clean Technology to provide easier maintenance and healthier fish. - FLOW CONTROL: Reduce the flow as low as 10 GPH for Bettas, plants, feeding or other low flow needs. - QUIET: A sound barrier decouples the motor from the filter to produce sound less than 40 decibels. Minimal noise - NO PRIMING REQUIRED: The submerged motor starts up with no priming required. - FOR 20 GALLON AQUARIUMS: The adjustable intake telescopes up or down to fit your aquarium's needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NC2P7BM | | Best Sellers Rank | 265,768 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 1,192 in Aquarium Filters | | Brand | Tetra | | Capacity | 20 gallons | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (8,558) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046798780014 | | Included Components | ..... | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.5L x 15.2W x 17.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Filter | | Item Weight | 907 g | | Manufacturer | Tetra | | Manufacturer Part Number | 78001-00 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Whisper IQ Power Filter | | Model Number | 78001-00 | | UPC | 046798780014 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tetra - **Capacity:** 20 gallons - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00046798780014 - **Included components:** ..... - **Item weight:** 907 g - **Manufacturer:** Tetra - **Material:** Plastic - **Model name:** Whisper IQ Power Filter - **Product dimensions:** 17.5L x 15.2W x 17.5H centimetres - **UPC:** 046798780014 ## Images ![78001 Whisper IQ Power 20 Gallon Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kKqVAf6eL.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 ### ⭐ Arrived with pieces missing and parts broken *by A***R on 14 May 2021* Could not use!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***L on 16 May 2023* Best filter I have bought in decades, provided it endures.
