What's a good filter for a 60 gallon tank? I have whisper 150 pump

I switched from an otw filter to a sponge for my 10gal tank. It works even better! Surely there must be an appropriate sponge for your 60 gal.

Aqua Clear 70 would do a good job. The XY-2831 would also be a great supplemental filter to place on the opposite end of the tank to add air and beneficial bacteria to the water. I use both filters and they work very well. Never wash the filters with tap water when cleaning. Use the removed tank water when you do a water change out. This will keep the beneficial bacteria alive in the filter media. Both filters will last for many years...

well you can also find bigger sponge filters these are great filters but only for like a 10 gallon tank personally I like the Magnum 350 canisters

Actually for turtles is 3x. Good fish are also extra dirty so 2x is recommended so in a 65 gallon tank this filter would be more than atiquite

Get a penguin biowheel filter for like $10 at drfostersmith and your tank will be whisper quiet.

I have a 150g set up with two canister filters. I have two of these, one on each filter.

The fx6 will be fine and do an amazing job. You can angle the output flow to where it just skims the top of the water. I have a fx6 and a xxl api(Rena) on a 150g and it stays Crystal clear. Depending on amount of fish you still have to to maintenance on filters. Just not as often on the fx6. I clean mine every 2 weeks but 3_4 would be ok to wait. (Heavily stocked African tank)

I use the Tetra Whisper 2-15 gallon heater. I bought it at Wal-Mart for $15. It keeps my tank at 78* all year round.

I have two of these on my 90 gallon tank. They fit well, and keep my tanks clean. I have 4 tanks, and each one has Whisper Power Filters - I am very pleased with them.

I like the longer tube because it pulls water from the bottom of the tank where so much stale debre and water can just sit. My tank is 55 gal, this pump filter does a good job and was quiter that the other one I bought.

Use of any filter should help, just be sure to include activated carbon to the filter media to control the cloudiness in your tank. You may even want the bigger model for a tank that size.

I just did a little research and RAYNOX shows that the 150 will fit a range of larger filter. I have emailed them several times with questions and they have always answered. Amazon's return policy is very liberal, but you might want to check with RAYNOX first.

Absolutely. I have the 150 in a 10 gal freshwater planted aquarium. I also have 3 3gal tanks the the azoo 60 filters. The 3 gal tanks are divided with 2 bettas in each of them. What I like about them is they're adjustable flow. I use a little more than the lowest setting in the 3 gallons and I use about a medium setting for the 10 gal. Any other questions, let me know.

I would go with the 300 for that application. I have the 300 for my 60gal and it works great.

I use this on a 40 gallon breeder for an RES. It might be a bit too strong for a 20 gallon tank depending on what lives in there however, I find you can decrease the flow rate by half-closing the intake and output valves. If you can't find a slightly less powerful filter, I'd say try it!

If it is the Whisper 60 you are asking about, (the largest model) it is slightly over 13.5 inches wide so I would be sur to have at least a 15 inch panel for it. It has a duel return, with the lift tube in the center. The Tetra media for it (bio-bags) is pretty lousy IMO, but the filter itself is decent and it isn't difficult to customize your own media for it. I reviewed it for more details on that.

I am using that model on a 55 gallon along with a fluval fx5 under the tank which is supreme overkill but it works great. I like this filter because it is easy to remove and replace media and is better constructed than most and is quiet as well. It is worth a few extra bucks for the quality alone and it has been working great for the past months in my r artificial reef setup. I use two main filters on all my tanks but that is just me.

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. This is what we recommend. We generally recommend that on average, you turn over your aquarium volume four times per hour. This means that if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump and filter with flow rates of around 120 gph. so if your tank is 120 gallons then a 480 gph. This is a suggestion of course. We hope that you have found this answer helpful. Thank you, Gabriela

You need to look for the Unicel replacement filter that works for your 60 sq ft system, if I am not mistaken, it is the FS-2005 Unicel filter. My Unicel FS-2004 filter fit my 48 sq ft Hayward system perfectly, it was a pretty good fit and my pool water has been crystal clear ever since I replaced it about 9 months ago.
