The Tetra® Whisper® Power Filter for aquariums offers quiet, 3-stage filtration for clean water and healthy fish. Dual-sided mesh catches debris and fish waste in its dense, fibrous network, then Ultra-Activated™ carbon provides chemical filtration by absorbing odors and discoloration. Biological filtration is provided by Bio-Foam®, which creates a large, three-dimensional area for cultivating aerobic bacteria, which eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrites. No moving parts means long-term reliability. Uses Stay Clean™ technology to help keep your aquarium clean, clear and healthy, reduce buildup on aquarium glass and bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter. This filter uses easy-to-change Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag® Cartridges (size medium), which trap particles floating in your aquarium. The Tetra Whisper Power Filter 10 treats aquariums up to 10 gallons (90 GPH).
