Tip

Fill the pump chamber completely with water to ensure that it does not pull in any air, which could damage the unit.

The tank should be positioned next to, rather than underneath, an outlet in order to prevent the unit from becoming wet.

Plants and other decorative items should be placed at least 1/2-inch away from the filter.

A power filter can help simplify aquarium maintenance.

Aquariums are a great way to incorporate a bit of marine life into your home or office decor. They do require a fair amount of regular maintenance and attention. The Whisper Power Filter, manufactured by Tetra, incorporates the functioning of a mechanical filter, a biological filter and a chemical filter into one small mechanism that operates in silence. It eliminates the need for regular spot cleaning and installs in just a few steps.
