Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter 10I with BioScrubber, 3 to 10-Gallon

I have two African dwarf frogs and was missing a frog one night.

I could not find her. I finally found her in the filter.

I have now learned through reading other web sites; it's best to put pantyhose or cheesecloth over a part of the filter, (use common sense on watching how it does filter so the filter will still do it's job) to protect your frog from becoming stuck.

My girl was saved.

The filter does work, just be careful and aware if missing an aquarium baby.

I just received the item from yesterday. It comes with a 10 gallon glass aquarium, whisper power filter 10,biobag filter catridge, fluorescent bulb, and also a small sample of AquaSafe and TetraMin food flake from Tetra. These are reasons why you should have this aquarium to start with:

1)The 10 gallon deluxe kit is all complete set to start with. I opened up the box, unpacked everything, read the manual for minutes and poof, my aquarium is all-ready! The filter is smooth, quiet and works efficiently.

2)The fluorescent light is all enough to lighten every angle of your aquarium. It can also gives some heats to your aquarium and really looks shining and bright during the nights.

3)After running it for a day, I add the gravels, live plants, Tetra AquaSafe to treat the tap water, also i bought a bacteria supplement from pet store to introduce the tank with useful bacterias.

4)After finishing step 4, I went to PetSmart and bought 4 guppies. I put them all in the aquarium and they swim in it happily. The temperature is already around 68-74F, without using heater. So, the fish are happy.

Conclusions, this Tetra 10 Deluxe kit is awesome! Buy it for your kids or yourself for full satisfaction!

To start off, I'd like to say that this filter doesn't do a bad job with actually filtering the water. In fact, for a month, without water changes, it kept the water crystal clear in my 10 gallon tank. However, when I finally cleaned the tank after a month, I discovered an insane amount of debris in the gravel and had to do a full water change, which was okay only because I use that tank for a betta. It is possible that I just had bad gravel in there at the time and no filter actually sucks out of the gravel, but I feel as though so much debris shouldn't have accumulated at the bottom.

That being said, there are other filters that can do the same while not being problematic in the following areas like this filter is:

1) The suction cups on this filter are terrible. In addition to that, its design is horrible. Basically there's no way of raising the lip of this filter high enough to keep your water level all the way to the rim of the tank. And the suction cups can't seem to properly support the weight of this filter, so it will often fall off.

2) It looks ugly and consumes a lot of space in the tank. The reason I'm taking appearance into account is because the whole purpose of having an aquarium is so that it looks nice. When you place a large bulky object into it, it won't look aesthetically pleasing at all.

3) After only a few months, I began to notice that it keeps alternating between being quiet and loud. So for some time you will hear nothing and then suddenly you start to hear this loud humming noise. Then, after five minutes of making this obnoxious noise it will quiet down again. This is probably my biggest problem with the filter.

My suggestion is to buy the Aquaclear 20 for 10 gallon tanks. It is a much more complex filter and it hangs over the side. The motor is quiet and the intake tube doesn't create the strong current that this filter creates as its sucking water in. It costs a few dollars more, but is totally worth it.

I'm not a pro fish person. I bought a 5 gallon tank for my daughter's betta when she wanted to get it a 'girlfriend'. The filter that came with the tank was crap. But I'm not wanting to spend a load on 5 dollars of fish. This filter is great! Silent. Powerful. Tank was spotless in 30 minutes. Fish are happy, I'm happy, wallet's happy!

Must say I've read some of the other reviews and have been confounded. I have a *baby* Betta in a 5 gallon tank right now and there is no possible way the 10i filter

could "suck him in" ???

Anyway, I already burned through an Aqueon 4 gallon tank, which looked nice on the box but was a total mess, so had to start over with a 5 gallon plain tank and this

filter. IMHO this filter is excellent. Correct draw (unlike the Aqueon which required the flow to "kick up" waste from the bottom and raise it to the surface which is

ineffective and really annoyed the fish) Filter is quiet, effective, not too big and flow doesn't disturb even a small Betta. It also cleaned up a slight fungus problem

from the moment I turned it on.

Highly recommend.
