do you make a smaller one for a smaller tank
Answer by ChewyDec 29, 2017
The smaller version is the Tetrafauna Decorative ReptoFilter for Frogs, Newts & Turtles for up to 55 gallons.

I want to use this kit in a 55 gallon aquarium but want it to be 50/ 50 so is there longer waterfall extensions we can purchase to lengthen the ground area
Answer by ChewyMar 06, 2018
The Viquarium does not have extensions to make a longer waterfall.

What is the size idea of a turtle that this would work for? My red ear is around 5 inches.
Answer by ChewyNov 06, 2017
A 30-gallon tank is the absolute minimum size for smaller species measuring between 4 and 6 inches. For turtles between 6 and 8 inches, a 55-gallon tank is appropriate. And for turtles measuring more than 8 inches, tanks in the 75- to 125-gallon range are a better choice. This particular product fits in most 20-55 gallon aquariums.

Would this product be fit for an iguana?
Answer by ChewyNov 09, 2017
This product is recommended for Aquatic Turtles, Frogs & Newts. We wouldn't recommend it for Iguanas.

what a let down!

This thing doesn’t clean the water at all. If you want it for the water fall then it’s great but it’s supposed to filter the water as well. It doesn’t.

Inside Filter Structure Breakage

Inside the structure has cracks and pieces of material breaking off into my turtle tank. Bought it brand new like this.

Don't buy it

It looks very nice, makes your tank looks great but it doesn't work. It's horrible!!! It doesn't filter the water the water filters are clean after 2 weeks. It doesn't do anything!! Do yourself a favor don't buy it you're just going to just waste your money and your time putting it together.

Turtle tank

A little big for a 20gal but it serves its purpose

Turtle Kingdom

I absolutely love this & so do my turtles...I would recommend this for anyone with a 20 gallon tank or larger (mine is 40 gallon breeder)...The nice flowing stream for Ur critters, along with the cascading waterfall, adds a natural setting to their habitat that makes it feel as close to nature as U can get! Along with this awesome design it is also a water filter...I recommend using river pebbles instead of small gravel, as U can adjust the height & width of Ur landscape & the amount of water by the amount of river pebbles and the design U choose to create...the river pebbles allow water filtration throughout the pebbles along the bottom portion of the tank (I have mine set at 5 inches of water) U then can add Ur substrate on top (I used moss matting, topped with coconut fiber & pieces of pillow moss throughout) U can also adjust the height & width of Ur landscaping with how much substrate U choose to use...I am very happy with this product

Pretty cool

I purchased this for a 40 gallon bowfront tank and it is pretty cool. It keeps the water constantly flowing down its little waterfall and my turtle seem to really enjoy it typically they will slide down the waterfall and into the water absolutely wonderful addition if you’re doing an aquatic turtle habitat.

Didn’t last long

I bought this for my red rated slider turtle in sept 2020. Since 11/2020 is has not made a stream from the pump with any power. It has gone stagnant and caused mosquitoes. Maybe mine is defective, it worked beautifully for about 60-90 days

Cute but not worth it

I love the look but with it was taller to allow a higher water line. Also the filtration doesn't work very well if at all. Unfortunately its not worth the price in my opinion :/

very impressed

i saw so many videos on it and it looks much better in person. however i don't think it's strong engouh for a 55 gallon tank it barely flows in my 29 gallon tank but either way its a great products so much room for customization not the product it's self but everything from the gravle to plants and so on. i recommend it to anyone. thank u chewy for the fast shipping it was suppose to arrive in 3 days but it made it in one day and a few hours.
