How long is the actual filter pipe that goes into the tank? I've gotten a couple of these whisper filters in the past, usually for smaller tanks and the actual pipe that goes into the tank is usually about 8inches, which is fine. Is this one about the...

You actually get a couple of extensions to go with it so you can adjust the depth. The pic does not have any of the extensions on it, only the bottom filter piece. I have all the lengths on mine and it is about 16". Hope this helps.

This filter didn't work out for me. Mine started making noises too. It then stopped working all together. I've replaced it with the Tetra whisper power filter. We have three tanks all using this filter and have had no problems.

It is about 8 1/4" long and you can get replacement filters on-line at Amazon. We are happy with it.

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.

The rubber connecter is 3in you could probely fit the pipe in but it would be tight you should go with a 3.5in filter . Your pipe and filter inlet are the same size

No, the filter won't be able to pull the water up into the filter box. You may want to look into getting a Whisper in tank filter. They're made for turtle tanks.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

Once it fits the size of pipe you have ,all you have to do is adjust it once tank is full and you will be ok

I do not remember. I read the directions. It was not long but of course depends on just how dirty your filter is. Follow directions.

The Pentair clean and clear series filters have the same diameter of 7" and center hole size of 3" but the length are longer as the model goes up. This is all i know 320 20 inch length 420 26 inch length 520 32 inch length. It sounds like you have the clean and clear 320 not the 420. The filters are a little longer than 20 inches but fit wonderfully.

The best way to gain that info is to visit their site. I do not know the size as I already installed it and discarded the info. I am happy with this filter and will buy from them again.

I am not quite sure. I only used what came with the tank. I do agree that the filter is a little too powerful for this small of a tank. I would just ask that question on google.

Hi, I like this filter vary much , we have it in a 10 gal in our bedroom it is vary quiet just a small hum, I have had tanks for years an I don't think there is such a thing as a truly perfectly silent outside filter, There's a under water filter by tom's that filter's up to 5 gal that makes no noise you might like that one better it dose a vary good job keeping the tank clean and is vary easy to clean, they carry it here on amazon. I hope this helped

It doesn't really hang out. There is a space between the glass and the filter in the inside of the tank about maybe 3 inches.

I've since replaced the tank, but kept the filter. It still works perfectly. I use it for my Betta. It's not too strong for him but it does provide good water and air circulation. The filter takes the Small size Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge.

My Whisper 60 fit perfectly over the lip of my tank behind the aquarium. It should fit your aquarium with no problems. I've had no problems and the filter is really quiet.Jim.

I have these filters in my 3 box turtle tanks. I am not sure about the number of gallons in each of them, but the minimum I have to have in a 20 gal. tank is 2-1/2 to 3 inches of water before it will start pulling the water in the filter. They work very well and the only sound I get from them is the cascading water. I highly recommend them.
