This filter is the best decorative waterfall with filter available if used correctly. Make sure to use carbon in the filter periodically (depends upon how many animals in the tank), and your water will keep clean and clear. I have used this filter for about five years, and I love the way it looks and I love the way it filters. I use this in a 65 gallon viquarium (vivarium) with poison dart frogs. I have the Tetrafauna Viquarium with the filter on one side while utilizing this Tetrafauna Decorative Reptofilter on the other side of the tank.
It's super cute and works great for my turtles.
I got this for my 40 gallon tank. I have 3 baby musk and 1 southern painted turtle. I got this filter because the other 2 filters I had on the tank died - for no reason. I needed something that would keep the water clean and clear and this filter is working like a charm! It's a solid piece and ncely weighted. The turtles haven't been able to move it. I'm very pleased and so are my turtles. The southern painted has switched to basking on the basking area here and my musk turtles like to sit under the waterfall. Once I switch to a larger tank, I just may get another one for an opposite corner. Great filter at a great price. Tetra products have never let me down.
I replaced a faulty filter with this one and using this guy and my other one on the other side of my 40 gallon tank works amazing for my two 2 year old yellow bellies!!
We used normal / standard ReptoFilters for years. I think we actually have five or six of them around here. A while back, we decided to clean and redecorate our family's Fire Bellied toad aquarium. We had been eyeballing these waterfalls for a long time..so when we were at the pet store getting some supplies, we decided to get one. First off, they are sturdy and well built. Not junk. The waterfall structure feels like ceramic or clay. Not cheap plastic. The filter motor itself is very small. But it's also very quiet because of that. You just need to make sure that the suction cups are properly seated to the inside base of the structure. And you should also make sure that you bleed any oxygen out of the filter motor. If your waterwall motor is loud, it's probably because oxygen is trapped in the motor..or it isn't suction cupped down to the base properly. You may think that these are expensive compared to a standard ReptoFilter. However, when you get this thing home and open it up, you will be surprised to find that there are TWO filters inside the system. One on each side. The motor pumps 90 gallons per hour. And 90 gallons per hour are filtering through these dual filters that come with the setup. So if you have it set up properly, this filter can keep up with anything. It's basically like having two, standard ReptoFilters running at once. Take the time to get to know and understand the filter, the design and it's mechanics. Once you do, you will understand what needs to be done to keep these running tip-top all the time. Once it's set up properly, it's very low maintenance. Our filter / waterfall is set up in a 30 gallon aquarium. There is about 7 - 8 gallons of water in the tank. It's relatively shallow water for frogs / Fire Bellied toads. With 8 gallons in the tank and the filter running at optimal performance, this setup filters our ENTIRE aquarium 11.25 times an hour. It's impressive considering how small the motor is. Our tank never stays dirty for long. Soot can get kicked up to the point where the water looks like mud..and it's cleared up in ten minutes or so. It's imperative that you look at the back-side of the waterfall filter and note the "Minimum Water Level". If your water level is lower than the indicator line, the filter will not work properly. I think the minimum water level is just over 3 inches deep. However, if you are determined to have shallow water for your setup, you can use gravel, rocks, etc. to bring the floor of your aquarium up higher within the tank. This is exactly what we did. We run this at the minimum water level and have areas that are 0.25" deep to 3.25" deep. The toads / frogs love it. They climb the waterfall all the time. The filter motor has a hose that comes up to the top of the waterfall. This feeds water our of the filter and down the rocks. It is hidden from view. To get to it, you just need to lift the top of the waterfall off the setup. It comes off like a big lid. When you first set this up, you will need to play with this hidden filter hose for a little while to get the desired waterfall effect. When you push the hose more forward under the rock and towards the front of the setup, it creates a louder, harsher, more intense waterfall. When you set the hose back 1/4" - 1/3", the waterfall becomes more mellow and less intense. After you mess with it for a bit, you will get the water pressure and intensity the way you want it. Manipulating this hose has a huge effect on the intensity and sound of the waterfall. The setup has two small holes on each side of the waterfall. These holes are where the water is sucked into the filter system from the aquarium. They can become plugged with debris, rocks, gravel, etc. They are very small. You will need a paperclip or something that can poke through these holes for mantenance. You need to make sure that the holes are free of any blockages. This will ensure that the filter is working properly. When they become too plugged, the aquarium water isn't being filtered properly. Without a natural current happening, the filter only cleans the water that is right in front of it. So you need to make sure that you keep these water ports free of debris. It's also a good idea to check the inside of the filter for blockages, debris or anything else that would slow down water flow. Good water flow keeps an aquarium healthy. It creates very little current. Which frogs and toads really like. But there is enough that the entire tank gets cycled many times per hour. You can adjust the intenisty of the current by how high you bring your rocks / gravel up the front of the setup. The inner suction of water into the filter creates enough of a current on its own. My only regret is not getting one of these earlier. Not only are they very cool aesthetically, but as I said earlier, it also operates like two filters running at once. This makes it totally worth the money in my book. And that's not even taking into account how nice it looks and the waterfall effect. We plan to get another one of these for our White's Tree Frog Terrarium / Aquarium. When we first set it up, we had moss around all the edges and gaps of the filter and against the walls of the tank. It looked excellent. But the frogs / toads moved most of that around so we need to re-do that landscaping. I hope this review gives people some solid and real-world insight about these filters. I've included a few quick and mediocre photos of the setup.
I like the price, quality, how it looks, how the quiet the filter and water fall are, how the filter is keeping it all clean so far (only 1 mth in with a baby painter turtle) only complaint is that i cant have the water very high bc theres a line to not over fill. I do think i can set the filter on a rock which would have the line higher but i dont think it would look cute wish there was an extension piece that raised it and looked like part of the waterfall rock.
I have a hatchling pet common snapping turtle that seems to love to sit on the filter and let the water run on his head. I wasn't sure he'd like it but he loves it. I heard a weird noise from what I assumed was the water pump so I added more water into the filter and it stopped. I read a couple of reviews and I too smell the chemical smell. Is that because there wasn't enough water in the filter or something so that was causing it? I have the proper amount of water in the tank I just feel like I need to add water into the filter and that's the problem. Any answers? I love the product I just want to know what I'm doing wrong the chemical smell scares me
It's a decent product, looks nice, isn't loud, but when used in my turtle tank with substrate (only 15 gallons as I have a hatchling) the water turned green within a week, I haven't decided if im going to get a second one or a different kind of filter
We purchased this filter 3 months ago and the paint is already flaking off of the outside and it does not keep our 10 gal tank clean. I understand that turtles are dirty, but I change the filter cartridges every 2 weeks and do a 50% water change every week. I am attaching photos of where the paint is coming off.
Terrible! It does not filter the water! And my tank is only 20 gallons. I want a full return but threw away the box. Was not planning for it not to work
