BioFoam and Grid Whisper 30, 40 and 60

I have a whisper 30-60 it's not wanting to pump air like it should. I can only submerge at surface level with the air line. It's not wanting to push air at anything past 1/8th inch submerging. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the diaphragm/clogged

Asked by: Fedorarote

The diaphragm doesn't clog, but it can split. You would need to open the pump and check it. It has an air filter on the bottom of the pump that may need replacing and if so, just cut a piece of thin felt material to fit it. Make sure the stone or bubble wand is not clogged as well. Cut all excess tubing that is not necessary to help eliminate restriction. Also, if the tubing is several months old or older, replace it. BREX

How important is the biofoam for tropical fish? I had put together my 10 gallon starter tank and hooked up the filter. But then I just now realized that I'm missing the Biofoam? Will this effect my mollies?

Asked by: JazzyWazzy94

The biofoam gives good bacteria a place to grow so they can help keep your water clean and clear. It is helpful but not completely necessary for your fish tank. Tetra would be happy to help you with the biofoam. Please give us a call at 1-800-526-0650.

Repto Filter 90 GPH

Which biofoam and grid whisper do I purchase for a replacement in a Repto Filter 90 GPH filter? I need to replace the one I have and I do not know what size to buy. Would it be the 30 40 60? Or would it be 10, 10i, 20, 20i or 40i? There are turtles and goldfish in my tank.

Asked by: PMPVT

It would be the 10i. B-Rex

which way does bio foam face in the filter?

I know the bio foam goes in front of the filter cartridges where the flow is but does the foam face the flow or does it face the filter? I recently got a used aquarium setup with a tetra whisper 60 and found the filter didn't come with the bio foams. Purchased two off the internet but it didn't come with directions.

Asked by: curtnstac

The foam faces the flow or the inside of the tank. Congrats on the new tank! B-Rex

Can I add a foam grid to an older Whisper Power Filer?

I am needing to lower nitrate in my tank after a major fish die off. I am wondering if the foam grid would work in my filter?

Asked by: Vonnie

Well, it will fit, but it will not reduce nitrate. Vacuuming, changing water, and adding Easy Balance will reduce nitrate. The foam will help with nitrite. Oh, and salt reduces nitrite as well. BREX
