The design allows for operation in shallow-water environments, making it ideal for creating waterfalls. A top lid keeps reptiles out of the filter chamber while providing easy access for replacing filter cartridges.

I have strong confidence in the brand "Tetra". I've used it for several years with my fish. So I was a little surprised to see the warning Amazon has about it being a frequently returned item and some of the negative experiences people have had with it. I was a little skeptical, but for $13 I figured I'd take a chance on the medium (90 gph). I've never been disappointed by this brand.This turned out to be a very good choice. This little filter is perfect for the job and works surprisingly well given it's size. It was originally purchased for a much smaller 5 gallon tank. Out of necessity I had to use this in a 29 gallon fish tank (filled 1/3 of the way) for a turtle. I went away for about 3 months and came back to crystal clear water. Of course the tank still needed some cleaning, but the water was clean. I had low expectations for a filter of this size for a tank that big.I will be/have purchased the larger model (125 gph) for the bigger tank.

Works really well and it's quiet ! For the price that it has I did not expect it to exceed my expectations the way that it did !

It has frequent returns?? I don't know why. I love this Filter. I will say the top keeps falling off. What I did was put packing tape on back so it can open and close just fine. It's a good filter. Don't listen to the bad reviews. I still bought and love it.

We have a fiddler crab setup in a 10 gallon tank. Roughly half the tank is covered by water about three inches deep, the other half is a sand beach. We have been through two ReptoFilters in six months.The first filter had a hard time taking in water, despite the fact we keep the water level at or above the height of the water intake vents. If the filter was unplugged during tank cleaning, after it was plugged in again it would not draw water until we poured at least a gallon of additional water directly into the filter compartment. The amount of water required to make the filter run would cause our crab's beach area to erode. Eventually the motor stopped working, so I discarded it and ordered a new filter.Our second filter was delivered on December 22nd. It stopped working altogether on January 7th. It won't take in water, and the motor isn't running. There is an adequate amount of water in the aquarium, and no discernable reason for the filter to stop working after two weeks. Our fiddler has just finished a molt, and he's stressed out with us messing around with his habitat, trying to get his filter to do its job.Perhaps this terrarium filter is not meant for shallow water habitats, but no matter. It's garbage, and I won't buy another.***Update***After reading other negative reviews of this filter, I followed the manufacturer's advice to carefully disassemble the unit and rinse debris from around the impeller. I disassembled and cleaned the unit. This was not a difficult task. After reassembly, I plugged the filter into the wall, and lo and behold, it immediately drew in water and began filtering. There was only a very small amount of sand inside the impeller area, but clearing it made all the difference.I'm going to try reducing the water level in the tank to see how the unit will perform. Our fiddler does not like a high water level, and my evaluation of a product depends in part on whether it helps me keep my animals happy and healthy. Time will tell how well this filter will continue to run, but at least now I know how to maintain the unit. Upgrading to four stars, because the manufacturer should provide clear and obvious maintenance and cleaning instructions in the user's manual.

Frequently returned item not sure why it works as advertised it’s super simple to use to. The lid kinda sucks for it but meh. Have it in a 10gal tank with the 90gph model for me turtle pics are foggy still circulating the water

For reference I have a 10gallon tank filled only 1/3 the way up with 2 turtle hatchlings. Motor is noisy, didn't clean the tank or circulate water at all. Filter disgusting after a day and a half.

This is the best filter ever for my turtle 🢠Franklin. This filter Keeps the water clean and the tank clean for longer periods. I recommend this for your turtles. Its waterfall is great, which Franklin loves. 💚 ðŸ¢ðŸ˜Š

Cumple su función, lo tengo en una Tortuguera de 65 litros, solo una tortuga y mantiene el agua cristalina y sin olores, ya provado tienes 12 dÃas de agua limpia, después de eso hay que enjuagar el cartucho ya que se satura demasiado con el pasar de los dÃas, debido a que compre los cartuchos de repuesto junto con el filtro, no me fijé que los cartuchos eran medianos y a mi parecer la manera en que viene acomodado el material filtrante está mal, pero cumple su función. Recomiendo modificar y ponerle esponja, guata, canutillos y carbon activado de esa manera tendrás el agua cristalina y sin olores por más tiempo. Pero se me hace un filtro de momento ya que al crecer tu tortuga será más suciedad la que tendrá que limpiar el filtro y tendrás que cambiar el agua más seguido, otra cosa que no me gustó es que a la semana empezó a hacer un ruido fuera de lo normal, desarme el filtro hasta llegar a la bomba, lo limpie bien y ni aún asà se quitó el ruido, no es un ruido que moleste pero no es normal, aún asà el filtro cumplió su función. Si tienes las posibilidades de comprar un filtro cannister hazlo!!! Si no recomiendo ampliamente este filtro, me gustó mucho.

It arrived completely dead and it will cost more to post back to get a refund than what it cost!

Hello I received the reply filter and installed it as per the manual. As soon as I plugged it there was a huge mechanical noise. The level of the water was correct and I opened the bottom the pump was correctly fixed. I put it back in the tank again let it run with the noise but it then finally stopped and never started again.I didn t manage to reach out the contact support yet but will seek a replacement.

It’s a pretty good filter. I’ve tried a lot of filters in the past couple years with my red-eared slider and by far this one has been my favorite. It’s easy to use and easy to set up. The directions are extremely straightforward and it’s not too loud of a filter. The maintenance is pretty easy too, cleaning it out is pretty easy. There’s no loose charcoal pieces. The one thing I wish I could change though is the price of the refill cartridges. I find it’s a little pricey, but I do only have to get a 3 pack every 2-3 months. So I can’t complain too much. Over all I’d recommend this filter to anyone with a messy turtle :)
