## Description

The Tetra® Whisper® IQ Power Filter with Stay Clean™ technology keeps aquarium water clean and clear. 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. With a self-priming, submerged motor and adjustable intake to fit your aquarium’s needs, the Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filter is perfect for use with both freshwater and marine fish. 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 45 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 45 gallons (215 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). Since 1951, Tetra has developed the world’s most comprehensive body of fish food knowledge, and fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the brand for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

Review: My ride or die - I’ve bought this for three different ten gallon tanks. The oldest one of these is two years old- hasn’t broke or bent or anything. Unlike your average PetSmart filter these won’t suck fish in - or at least they haven’t yet for me. These are easy to take apart for yearly cleaning too because all the tubes can be disconnected. These filters also have a super convent little notch you can use to adjust the flow rate. They are also super quiet which is amazing because I keep tanks in the room I sleep in. They start up easily after being plugged in, even if they’re bone dry out of the package. Would recommend them to anyone.
Review: Works great - Seems good this is the 3rd filter I've gotten for one tank this one works as soon as you plug it in i appreciate that about it cleared up alot of mess

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little unit.
*by L***Y on July 30, 2026*

I liked that this filter was adjustable - The part that goes into the water that suctions the water up can either be shorter or taller. For our 10 gallon tank, we used the shorter one. The filter power is adjustable as well. We just have a beta in there so we keep it on low, seems too powerful in the higher settings. I'd say for being on the cheaper side, it was a good value for our money. Its as quiet as a filter can be i guess lol
