[AquaticLife] What’s good filter?
Dora,
You are forgetting the first name on that Whisper filter… Tetra. 
I told you they are known for making low end products. I’ll admit I have a couple of them that I use as secondary filters on some of my smaller tanks or for occasional use on a H-tank or Q-tank but I don’t think I’d ever rely on one of them as my primary filter system.
If you want something that’s going to work and not have any problems, get an Aqua Clear Power Filter (HOB type) made by Hagen… which makes quality products. They have much larger reservoirs so they can hold adequate filter media like a sponge block, floss pads, chemical filter media when needed, etc. They are work horses and are low priced also!!! http://www.hagen.com/usa/aquatic/basic/4-6.cfm No need to use the AmRid stuff though, if it comes with it. Just save that for an emergency when you need an ammonia removing filter media, otherwise it just starves off your much needed nitrifying bacteria colonies.
PetsMart’s use to sell them and they still might but I haven’t been filter shopping in a while but here’s a link that showed up on a Yahoo Shopping search so maybe they still do. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754143&utm_medium=yahoo shop&mr:referralID=84f16297-141b-11dd-8103-000423bb4e79&utm_source=cse Since Yahoogroups will probably break that link, just search ‘aqua clear filter’ in Yahoo Shopping and you’ll find it.. or go to PetsMart.com and find it and print the page so when you go to the store, they’ll match the internet pricing.
Aquariumguys.com have them even cheaper… http://www.aquariumguys.com/hagenaquaclear.html
