Question & Answer

I lost 4 baby harlequin rasboras using sponge filter a high ammonia spike. Looking for hang on back filter. Can I use Whisper IQ Filter for Tetra 2.5 gallon?  And does this have replacement cartridge?

Asked by: mima

Interesting as a sponge filter is an excellent biological filter and should definitely prevent an ammonia spike in a properly set up and stocked tank. It would require a partial water change weekly in a tank of that size with a filter to keep the tank balanced. The smallest IQ filter the Whisper IQ10 may work, depending on the area available to set it on the back of the tank. It has an adjustable flow rate. Yes, there is a replacement cartridge plus a bio-grid for biological filtration. You would need these cartridges in the medium size: http://www.tetra-fish.com/products/filtration/~/link.aspx?_id=36B9B87B0263428D95A179A82FA51B42&_z=z. BREX

I recently purchased a Whisper IQ filter. I would like to purchase additional extension tubes (#16 in the manual) so that the filter reaches further down to the bottom of the tank. I have a 35 gallon tank. How can I order or where can I purchase this item

Asked by: Bludge

We do not sell parts separately quite yet. This filter just hit the market a few months ago so we have a policy to replace parts under warranty if anything breaks or is missing and don't receive many sales the first year a filter is out, therefore, we wait to put them on the market for purchase. The strainer should reach about half way or just past halfway down and no further for proper pull. Deeper than that will reduce the flow and the filter efficiency. BREX

Does the filter have to snap in behind the bio grid on the 10 gallon whisper IQ model? 

Asked by: Goldfish135

Not necessarily snap in, no, but it does go behind the bio grid. BREX

Why will the bottom not close tightly against the top?

Asked by: Fishhouse

If you are referring to the motor connecting to the upper body, it's not supposed to be a tight fit. BREX

Either the 30 or the 45 models should fit your tank without an issue. BREX

What filter is best for a 3 gallon tank?

Asked by: Nanc

The Whisper IQ 10 is the best one for such a small tank. It has a fully adjustable flow so you can reduce it as necessary for your small tank. BREX

Asked by: ferret4315

Yes, this is normal. We have designed it this way because of the type of plastic we are using. BREX
