This quiet filter contains a soft barrier between the motor and the filter that serves as a sound shield to minimize noise. The bio-scrubber cultivates aerobic bacteria to remove toxic ammonia and nitrite, and the smart path spillway oxygenates the water and agitates the surface.

Works with easy-to-change Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges with Stay Clean technology – helps reduce buildup on aquarium glass, bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter and stabilize pH levels to prevent crashes, meaning easier aquarium maintenance for you. Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filters are available in a range of sizes to fit your aquarium. This Tetra Whisper IQ 20 Power Filter treats aquariums up to 20 gallons (130 GPH). Convenient color coding makes it simple to choose the correct size replacement cartridge – use with size large Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filter Cartridges (blue packaging).

Review: Aquarium filter - Product is very good but not working in UAE Review: GREAT value, very quiet, adjustable flow and outside the tank, what's not to love. - Best filter I have bought in decades, provided it endures. The flow control was tricky, the difference between trickle and waterfall is a tiny move of the dial, but just having flow control is the main point. It's VERY quiet. I hear the trickle of water, not the filter. The filters themselves are sold as kits you can make for very cheap. The flow control/suction goes pretty fast, i suspect you could use this for a 50G freshwater tank in a pinch. ## Features - USES STAYCLEAN TECHNOLOGY: A quiet, durable and easy filter system that uses Stay Clean Technology to provide easier maintenance and healthier fish. - FLOW CONTROL: Reduce the flow as low as 10 GPH for Bettas, plants, feeding or other low flow needs. - QUIET: A sound barrier decouples the motor from the filter to produce sound less than 40 decibels. Minimal noise - NO PRIMING REQUIRED: The submerged motor starts up with no priming required. - FOR 20 GALLON AQUARIUMS: The adjustable intake telescopes up or down to fit your aquarium's needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NC2P7BM | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,828 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #357 in Aquarium Accessories | | Brand | Tetra | | Brand Name | Tetra | | Capacity | 20 gallons | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 13,396 Reviews | | Filter Life Cycle | 30 Days | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046798780014 | | Included Components | ..... | | Included components | ..... | | Installation Type | Submerged | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.5L x 15.2W x 17.5H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Filter | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Tetra | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Whisper IQ Power Filter | | Model Number | 78001-00 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Stay Clean Technology | | Part Number | 78001-00 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 17.5L x 15.2W x 17.5H centimeters | | Purification Method | Biological | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special features | Stay Clean Technology | | UPC | 046798780014 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tetra - **Capacity:** 20 Gallons - **Included components:** ..... - **Material:** Plastic - **Special features:** Stay Clean Technology ## Images ![78001 Whisper IQ Power 20 Gallon Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kKqVAf6eL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with any filters?** A: One filter prefilled with carbon. **Q: On the 10 gallon version, how far does the intake extend into the aquarium?** A: Its adjustable, but my normal size and shape 10gal tank requires me to use this without the telescoping tube, and leaves the intake in a perfect place without it! The body itself goes 4in+ into the water so with that extra 6in adjustable tube (that gets almost 12in when extended) it didn't fit in my tank with the 4+in intake section connected **Q: Can this be used for an Axolotl?** A: Yes. I use that for my axolotl fir about 2 months. No problem. Very good. **Q: Will this model of the Tetra is 45 handle a 55 gallon ok?** A: The 45 model would not be enough for a 55 gallon tank on its own. Two of them would work, one at each end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Aquarium filter *by K***A on 23 November 2025* Product is very good but not working in UAE ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT value, very quiet, adjustable flow and outside the tank, what's not to love. *by N***L on 16 May 2023* Best filter I have bought in decades, provided it endures. The flow control was tricky, the difference between trickle and waterfall is a tiny move of the dial, but just having flow control is the main point. It's VERY quiet.

Buy this to replace my older Tetra filter - probably 10+ years old. Easy to install, just rinse, plug and it's run great. It's silent - like really silent and the flow control really work. You can control the flow from slow to fast, good if you have baby or small fish. Really great upgrade from Tetra. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tetra Whisper IQ Power Filter 20 Gallons, 130 GPH, with Stay Clean Technology - Tetra HT Submersible Aquarium Heater With Electronic Thermostat - 6 Pack Filter Cartridge for Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Filters, Large Replacement Filter Cartridges for Aquariums Compatible with Tetra Whisper Filters 20i,40i/IQ20,30,45,60/PF20,30,40,60 and ReptoFilter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/294037826-78001-whisper-iq-power-20-gallon-filter](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/294037826-78001-whisper-iq-power-20-gallon-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
