About This Item
Details
- As the filtered water flows over the rocks and back into the tank, it creates a soothing waterfall.
- Keeps water clear with three-stage filtration (chemical, mechanical & biological).
- Removes odor, keeping your terrarium a clean, odor-free environment.
- The rock-like structure hides a powerful filter that works in any aquarium up to 55 gallons.
- Frogs, newts and turtles will all enjoy climbing to the top, which serves as a high basking area and also prevents animals from entering the filtration area.

Tetrafauna Decorative Reptofilter
At first it was working pretty fine , but then my turtles water after I would put new water in would become dirty again from him good in like 2 days and it’s a filter it’s supposed to filter all of that out and keep the water purified and clean but it stopped doing that. It also attracts gnats like crazy ! I had too put my turtle in a alternate cage until I get them all out , definitely disappointed
didnt work
I wasn't very happy with this. Grew mold inside of it and was very hard to clean when i tried to clean it. Doesn't circulate the water well. And doesn't pull in the debris and waste in the small holes to be filtered because the suction is not strong enough.
Tetrafauna Decorative Reptofilter 55-Gal
I ADORE these filters. I actually have 1 in BOTH of my turtle tanks. They were ALOT bigger than I expected them to be. They each take 2 filters at a time. Not only does this filter do a GREAT job cleaning the water in my tanks, but my turtles LOVE to climb on them, and use them to bask on. I would DEF recommend these filters!!
Best thing I ever bought!
Got this for my frogs when I first set up their tank in Feb 2017 (it's half land, half water). It's not Feb 2022 and this thing hasn't gone out on my ONCE, I honestly think it's the only thing I bought that hasn't broken apart from the tank. It's a nice little workhorse, and the replacement filters are affordable. Keeps their water squeaky clean
my turtle tank filter
So I originally bought this for my 55 gallon turtle tank. I only filled it up to the maximum or somewhere in between and had a different filter on the other side as well to balance it out. It worked great for the first few weeks and then my tank would stay dirty even after cleaning or changing the filters and cleaning out the entire thing itself. I didn’t even have this for 4 months and I found out it later developed a hole. The material that it’s made of wasnt very thick and broke off easily. Keep in mind I do water changes every Monday and clean the gravel. The picture with the water groggy happened within the last week of me having this filter. Eventually we had to take this filter out and put in the fish tank filter that the tank came with and added more water to meet the water line and everything got clear again.
PRETTY THAT'S ALL
I CHOSE THIS FOR IT'S BEAUTY AND IMAGINED IT BEING A GOOD FILTER ALSO, BUT NOT SO, THE WATER FALL IS BORING AND THE FILTER IS A JOKE BUT AGAIN IT IS PRETTY THAT'S ALL.
Works for us
Glad I didn't read the reviews before I purchased. I have been using this filter almost a year and it has not missed a beat. I have it on a stand in a 55 gallon tank for my red eared slider, Herman. He sleeps under the water fall. I have to change the filters every 2 weeks but that shows me it definitely is working. It does make an annoying sound when the water gets low but that's its only default. It works great for us and is reasonably priced! I would purchase it again.
love this waterfall
I’m using this to filter water for my crocodile skinks. It has great flow and is keeping their water clean and moving. Love it!
terrible filter
I bought this for my turtle in a 40 gallon tank. Less than 20 gallons of water. Not only is it difficult to clean and it would require cleaning every other day to keep the gunk from accumulating, the water flow is awful and lid comes off easily by the turtle climbing on it. It is an over priced piece of junk.
Natural look, good filtration
This filter does a good job, looks natural and actually enhances your aquatic environment. I like the waterfall feature! I did have an issue with the filter arriving broken multiple times but customer service was extremely kind and helpful in replacing it free of charge! I finally got an undamaged unit. I do not believe it was due to any fault of Chewy's that they arrived damaged. Packing was superb!
