Tetrafauna ReptoFilter for Frogs, Newts & Turtles
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
The Tetrafauna ReptoFilter for Frogs, Newts & Turtles provides crystal clear filtration for aquatic terrariums. It uses patented Whisper technology for silent operation as it moves the water through three stages of filtration. The removable filter cartridges catch organic debris and remove odors and discoloration from your tank. This filter works in as little as three inches of water, so it’s the ideal choice for the shallow pools found in turtle, newt and frog habitats. It’s also great for creating waterfalls. Simply attach the suction cups to a terrarium wall and cover the filter with decorative rocks or plants. The green color makes it easy to conceal, and the protective lid keeps reptiles out. The medium 90 GPH filter is effective in terrariums up to 20 gallons, and the large 125 GPH works for tanks up to 55 gallons.

- Install the ReptoFilter on the back wall of your terrarium. Unlike conventional filters, its small size makes it easy to hide with a plant or other decorative object. From the front, it's practically invisible. To create a waterfall, camouflage the ReptoFilter with rocks.
- Insert suction cups. When pressed firmly and twisted, the suction cups will fit snugly into the holes in the back of the ReptoFilter. If they don't go in easily, a small screwdriver can be used to gently guide the suction cups into the holes.
- Insert the filter cartridge and foam grid. (Note: The front of the foam grid is marked "front" and should face the front of the filter.)
- Insert ReptoFilter inside the aquarium and press the suction cups against the aquarium glass. Drape wire over the aquarium wall.
- The lip of the ReptoFilter should be above water level, and the bottom of the filter should be submerged in at least two inches of water. When positioning plants and other items, take care to leave at least 1/2 inch clearance around the filter's intake area.
- Attach ReptoFilter lid.

Is this submersible?
It can be placed lower in the tank with suction cups, but you generally do not want to submerge it.

filtration bleh
By Makenna on Jun 2, 2021
Didn’t get rid of smell for the tank, barely filtered any water had to change the filter after a week and it was disgusting. Was hoping this would make cleaning out the tank less but I still have to do it every few days. Water isn’t clear at all. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but I read the instructions.

Barely had it for a year and it broke
By TBlocks on Jun 18, 2021
I ended up having to duct tape the filter together in order to it to work since the suction cups broke off and allowed unfiltered water to leak back into the tank. All in all it was a waste of money and I should have gotten something better.

Great filter. If you have turtles, please read!
By Groomer on Mar 7, 2021
I bought this filter for my 3 Red Eared Sliders. If you’re hoping that this filter alone will keep your turtles tank clean, that’s pretty unlikely. There are a few other factors to consider when caring for your turtles home. Water temperature can play a big role in tank maintenance. Having a good heat lamp for your turtles is an absolute must! UV lighting is essential to their health. They should have a spot to dry off and bask under the sun or under their lamp. Make sure that you aren’t over feeding your pet. I feed my boys every 2-3 days. If they over eat their water gets dirty pretty fast. I use an Odor Control Moss Ball and the Tetrafauna Repto Guard Turtle Heath Water Conditioner, in addition I bought this filter for my 3 Red Eared Sliders.

These items can also be purchased on Chewy, but other brands might work better for your pet. Depending on the type of turtle, care and maintenance can be different. I recommend doing some research if you’re unsure of what products to use. With that being said, my turtles have been using this filter for 2 months now and their tank is still clean. I’ve used other filters and they last for 2-3 weeks if I’m lucky. … more

So far so good :)
By Jackie on Mar 15, 2021
I've been using this filter for about a week and I've definitely noticed an improvement in the water clarity and waste. I replaced my zilla aquarium filter which was honestly horrible, it didn't keep the tank clean at all and all the waste sat at the bottom of the tank. With this new filter the water looks clean and the waste is no longer sitting at the bottom. The only con is that this filter is pretty loud, lol. I even bought the smaller of the two, size medium hoping it would be more quiet but alas, it is quite loud lol.

Great filter.
By Angel on Mar 16, 2021
Works amazingly. My tank stays clear. I build my habitats to be as close to real as possible. Live plants, river rocks, and drift wood. This filter is extremely quite. I have mine raised so it sounds like a water fall. Highly recommend

Long lasting filter
By Bozena on Mar 30, 2021
I had this filter for many years for my Turtle, so after it stopped working I got the same. It helps keep clean water and is pretty good for this price. It is easy to clean and use not expensive cartridges.

Read before
By Lily on Jan 14, 2021
I've failed and made a mistake buying a new one since my previous one was making loud noises after a few weeks of buying it. It was hard taking of the suction cups from inside the tank which led to the suction cups pulling out. It was very difficult for me to put them back in so I gave up. If you have a sand substrate do not buy this filter. It will get stuck and stop your filter from working and making loud noises.

Water tank pump
By Pump on Apr 23, 2021
Even though I ordered the wrong item, I kept this. I originally needed filter pads for my large pump.

only worked for one day
By Morgan on Dec 23, 2020
Bought this filter for a 10 gallon tank, it stopped working literally the next day! Worked perfectly until now and I don’t know what to do!
