Tetra ReptoFilter In-tank Filter 10i, for Terrariums up to 10 Gallons Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an female Red Eared Slider in a 70 gallon breeder tank, and found that a Whisper 20i was strong enough to keep the tank crystal clear, even when larger, more expensive filters failed (canister in-tank, external canister, you name it). My slider loves the waterfall the Whisper generates, but also loves to tear up the sponge and filter medium when she can reach it.

We decided to try the ReptoFilter, having had such excellent luck with the 20i. Like the 20i, the ReptoFilter uses three-stage filtration and claims to be for environments "up to 20 gallons." We figured we'd be getting a 20i with a lid, and we'd be able to continue using the filter media we'd purchased for the 20i. Unfortunately, what we did end up getting wasn't what the advertising copy claimed.

The ReptoFilter itself is small, about half the size of a 20i (in fact, it's the same size as a Whisper 10i, which is only designed for small tanks of 2-10 gallons). There's very little uptake, and the water displacement is significantly less than the 20i. The lid doesn't stay on firmly, and is easily knocked off by a curious turtle or errant hand. Quiet? Sure, until the filter clogs up in the first half hour and water starts to overflow the sides, and the underpowered motor bogs down under the load. Where the 20i worked brilliantly in our tank, the ReptoFilter failed.

If you're looking for a small filter for a small reptile or amphibian setup, then you may find that the ReptoFilter works for you. However, if you've got a larger setup and looking for a workhorse filter, this isn't it.
