Is this filter to much for 1 - 1.5 gallon tank?? Would it fit either the 1.1 half moon Tetra tank or theTetra 29050 LED Betta Tank?

Honestly it's for a 10 to maybe 20 gallon tank and will not fit your size range. You can check the dimensions on aqueon, I understand you want superior filtration in a smaller unit but you want be able to close your lid with this I'm there. Try sponge filters.

Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work. I'm always a fan of having a little extra filtration capacity, since if the filter is rated for 15 gallons (as this one is) that's assuming its clean and operating normally. Getting the PF25 would give you a little extra filtration and flow in your tank. Those are just my thoughts. I really liked the idea and concept of this filter and it seemed to work fine for me, I just couldn't get it to fit under my aquarium shroud, so I ended up returning and got a secondary fiter to support the primary one. UV is definitely a good thing for your aquarium though!

I had to cut the black trim on my tank because it didn't fit but it's all roses now. But honestly my filter sucks really bad. It's very loud and it overflows even when it's brand new I'm not satisfied with mine at all. But tetra is a good company as far as I know so mine could be defective. But I'm just cautioning you that mine has had problems...

I use it for a five gallon tank and it is great. A one gallon tank might be to small. Prior to getting this I had a flat heater that was under my gravel that auto censored to keep a tank at the right temp. The only problem with it was I needed to have more control of the temp in the. You might try finding it, sorry but I don't remember what kind it was, but I know it was for smaller tanks.

I beleive this filter uses standard sizes that you can find at most hardware stores. (IE. same filters you fuse for some of the more standard filters in the store). Filter performs better than expected. I use for gardening, fish, as well as for drinking water. Best price for a 4 stage 100 gal an hour filter that comes ready to install and I highly recommend for anyone intending to use for aquarium/ gardening. If used mostly for drinking water I might get something with a tank to install under the sink.

I use it for my aquatic turtle (red eared slider) in an FX5 canister filter as the first stage filtration. I change it approx. every 2-3 months. Keep in mind I have 4 of them in there at one time in stage 1. For fish tanks, I am not sure.

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

I use this filter in my 5 gallon freshwater planted aquarium housing a betta. It works amazingly. www.azoopalm.com/products/filtration says it is sutable for a 20-30 liter aquarium so at 26.497 liters your aquarium will do well with this filter.

I would go with 150 more filtration for your tank, I have regular 29 gallon tank and I have Marineland 200 filter works great. 2 month went by and water still clear and all water tests pass.

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

I have been using theses filters for ever, I would suggest moving up to one size bigger, the larger has an extension tube that comes with it, this one only goes about 6" into the water. When it comes to filtration, bigger is better if you have room, the larger has 2 chambers/holds 2 media inserts, you will be much happier and the tank will be much cleaner, and there isn't a lot of difference in the cost.

I'm using it for my 125 gal - 6 ft long, turtle tank. I have one Eastern River Cooter about 6-7 inches long. This filter is doing a pretty good job keeping the water clean. I think that the intake is not strong enough to pull in everything on the bottom from all areas of the tank though. I had the intake on the far right side of the tank, and the bottom of the tank on that side looked pretty clean, but the left side not so much. So after cleaning the bottom on the left side, I moved the intake to the left to try to clean up more of the bottom. I guess I'll have to alternative right and left to get all the waste across the bottom. I'm using it for my 125 gal - 6 ft long, turtle tank. I have one Eastern River Cooter about 6-7 inches long.

No this is for an itty bitty tank, maybe 1 gallon, and itty bitty filter. :)

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first.Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank. It's a square, 7.5 " tank and the depth is a little under 7". The filter fits it perfectly. The filter that came with it was too small to be useful. This gets good flow and it is a cartridge filter system so they replace easily. I've had 2 of the tetra glo fish and a cory cat for about a year now. They do fine in the tank, I have a small plant in front of it to diffuse the intake some and the fish have been fine. In your question you asked about the half moon. That one I would not recommend due to the shape and space, but a square tank with the filter in either back corner should be fine. I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank.

I don't use a standard filter on these tanks (we have 5 betta fish). Instead, I use a disc bubbler under the gravel for aeration in each one. Love these tanks and their design, but not too happy with Amazon shipping b/c all of the tanks came with at least one divider broken or cracked. Also, don't like the solid glass lids. In fact, I was leaving those off entirely at first, but one of our bettas leaped out of the water while I was at work. I didn't even know a fish would or could do that! So hubby made me some wire mesh covers for them. But now I'm rambling, sorry. If you want to use a filter, I'd get the smallest one you can find. I think they do make filters for 5 gallons and under. Again, I haven't had to use a filter. I use a disc bubbler, and lay it on top of a cottony pouch that has charcoal in it. I have to change the charcoal out only about once every three months. Bettas are so clean and if you don't overfeed, their tanks stay nice for a long, long time. Love the idea and design of these tanks, that's why all my bettas are in them, but see preceding for adjustments we've made over time. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use this for anything other than 1 betta. It's too small and doesn't have a filter.
