Save your Money
Date: October 20, 2009
"I have this filter for my four month old Penn Cooter
,I have to change his water and clean his tank twice a week, and the filter is very hard to clean. May be this could be used as a back up but I wouldn't waste the money.

A life saver
Date: January 4, 2009
"We have 2 filter systems in our 55 gallon tank, 1 (tetra whisper) under gravel and this little one on top. We had our main system (whisper) go out and this little one picked up the slack and maintained it for a few days. We have had this one for about 4 months and are very happy with it still. Im not sure how it would do alone but it is a GREAT back up plan."

Efficient efficient!
Date: January 27, 2008
"My very old Red Eared Slider turtle has had serious problems with skin sloughing, and it has become near impossible to keep the water clean. I have used numerous filter before, and I was skeptical at first of this product because of its small size. However, this filter is the best I have used and cleaned up my tank immediately. Woo hoo!"

If used properly
Date: December 21, 2007
"If used properly its not that bad at all, not too bad and not that good. Best for 1 turtle, or even a small amphibian tank not exceeding 15-20 Gallons of water. There are much better filters."

It's a Swirlpool, No Filter Included
Date: April 21, 2007
"If I could give this product a 1/2 Paw it would not be accurate! It didn't filter much of anything in either the 5 gallon or 10 gallon tank with 1 little RES (1.5" shell) and a few river rocks in it. All this product seem to do was swirl the water around. More of a turtle swirlpool than a filter!
Disappointed with this ZOO MED product totally!

Not So Great-Dont Recommend
Date: October 14, 2006
"When I first purchased this filter it worked surprisingly good. I was well satisfied. BUT, after a few months went by this filter did not work as well as it used to. I noticed a big change in its performance and could see that the filter did not work to the best of it's ability. I saw myself cleaning the turtle tank more often."

"This filter has no power at all. My tank gets very dirty very quickly! I suggest the Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter. This one works very good keeping the debris out!"
