This is my second Whisper 10-30, I purchased the first one used and it lasted about 10 years before finally giving out. Probably would have lasted longer if I hadn't neglected to clean it out and let the water run down (we are in the middle of a remodel). Definitely worth the price and works great!
Ok first off this filter is totally silent I cannot even hear it run whatsoever, except if your water is low you will hear the waterfall sound, solved simply by filling it up to the lip of the filter, at first I was skeptical its huge, it goes inside the tank, didnt seem right, we used to have the aqua tech 30 gallon model on it and the day after we checked the filter catridge it was full of junk the other filter never cleaned out!!! The fish don't mind it at all even sometimes play in the current, and the suction is perfect for smaller fish although watch out for the bettas the sometimes get stuck on this and this filter might not be for your betta, or get a smaller model...we currently have 4 of these in different sizes on tanks and they are all crystal clear silent and even cheap!!! $.97 on amazon for unassembled cartridges look no further!!!! Oh and they will also work in only 2" of water has to above the filter slots a little bit you just slide the clip off and put the included suction cup on the back, kinda a pain and put it as high or low as you want in the tank, another thing to note is this may grind quite a bit but if you adjust it properly, clean it out, it will work like a charm, also it's a breeze to clean just pop the bottom off with a screwdriver and wipe it off unlike the u tubes which are impossible to fully clean
I bought 2 different filters to keep my 55 gallon tank clean for a turtle. When i go to change pads, this one picks up tons of stuff while the other one picks up barely anything. Easy to clean and change pads. Good buy.
This certainly does work I put it in a 30 gallon tank. I cannot imagine putting this in anything less than a 30 gallon tank because the force of the water I feel is too fast and there's no way to adjust it. So I put some fake greenery in the path of the water shooting out and it does help.
This has kept my tank cleaner way longer than the smaller filter & My fish & turtle love it & seem more active cause the water is moving better through the entire tank!
I switched my Aqueon 75 in my 55 gallon tank for two of these and OMG I couldn't be happier! Not only does it keep my tank crystal clear, it's completely silent!! Like seriously... I don't hear it at all!! And my Aqueon would be so loud that I had to turn my tv up super loud! Very happy switch!!
Very low profile, very quiet and self priming and easy to replace cartridges. Works great in my 55 gallon aquarium that I purchased from Wal-mart. My tropical fish doesn't seem to be bothered by it. Puts out perfect water flow without disturbing my Tropical fish community. The cartridges are available can be assembled or dissembled for those who wants to add more Carbon or anything else to it. I make my own filter and it works great. These internal pumps are very easy to set up and very versatile. It has suction cups or a hang on for the inside of your tank. Doesn't take up much space either. The filter that comes with it, the white jacket can be removed very easily so you can add more Carbon or whatever you want to put in it. It's not permanently fixated it can slide off and filled with media of your choice. I hope this review was helpful. I also included a picture of what it looks like inside the aquarium.
Useful for turtles but not great for amateur koi tanks. My filter system gave out and I bought this product. It is very quiet (which is great) but I am a paranoid person and having the cord in the tank made me not happy with it off the back. It gives no aeration to the tank so my koi are at the top for air. It has a nice design despite being so clunky. I could buy an air pump but those things are noisy so having a filteration system that could provide some aeration is more useful than a silent submergable one.
I don't doubt that this filter works well, but it is the clunkiest one that I've ever bought. Instead of having a housing with a lip that hangs over the back of the tank, it requires you to put together a flimsy plastic track, hanging hook, and suction cup device that doesn't keep the filter from wobbling against the back wall. And it's big, too big for a ten, and, I think, too big for my twenty. I'm still trying to figure out how to position my light assembly over it. In my life, I have adjusted to a lot of cranky, beat-up used cars, so I think I'll be able to adjust to this. Does this sound like what you want?
First of all the power plug is way too short at about 5 ft. I wouldn't mind if it kept my 20 gallon tank halfway clean but it just doesn't do the job at all even with only half the tank full. Garbage filter don't make same mistake I did.
