Tetra ReptoFilter for Terrariums, For Frogs/Newts/Turtles

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

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 días de agua limpia, después de eso hay que enjuagar el cartucho ya que se satura demasiado con el pasar de los días, 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 así se quitó el ruido, no es un ruido que moleste pero no es normal, aún así 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 may be alright. I didn't pay attention I wanted the one that mimicked a rock gradual fall. I have had a filter like this before. I found it too loud and It as the water came down too forcibly; it became an area of the aquarium that the turtle didn't use. I am going to try it because it does come with everything I would need. Such as the starter filter insert. Down side it only appears to suction onto the aquarium and doesn't have an arm or anything else to hold it in place. my last one had an arm and I liked that. I broke the arm though. My turtle hasn't had a filter for a couple months and I have enough housework to do without having to clean a tank twice a week. I does look sturdy but I would rather it for a bigger aquarium and for fish rather than turtle. The product was delivered quickly and in-tacked.

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 :)

The flow is a little strong for the little frogs in the tank but with a rock below the stream to break the flow, its perfect. It keeps the water clean and its easy to change/clean the filter. It works way better than the little filter I got with the starter kit. The filter itself is quiet and the sound of the water flowing is louder as the water gets more shallow. I personally like the sound of the water.
