## 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 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).

## 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.
