Is this a good filter for a 5.5 gal Betta tank?

IMO this filter would work fine for that purpose. Another filter that I consider even better in this category is Lee's small triple-flow corner filter. Lee's is slightly more expensive but has improved flow plus it includes an internal air stone for more aeration.

Yes! I use them in all my 5 gallon betta tanks. It is the only filter I have found that does not produce to much current.

Yes it is. Use a small air pump and you might want to turn the air outlet towards the back to reduce water turbulence since bettas like calmer waters. It's quite an efficient little filter.

I am currently using this 5 micron filter as a pre-filter for my Kineko system and it works fine. Depending on the hardness of your water, the lower the microns the more small sediment it cleans out. I have very hard water and am thinking of adding a second filter using the 5 micron filter. With the 5 micron filter it may have to be changed more often because it cleans out more but at the bulk rate price on these filters it is well worth it.

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

Yes, it will work great in a 1.5 gal beta tank, although its a little big for the job.

Is the azoo mignon 150 power filter enough for a 50 gallon tank w/a lg .turtle in it ?

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.

I sat mine inside of a ten gallon tank when I was moving, it fits but takes up almost half of the tank. It will be fine if you have something less than 4-5 inches in there. Just keep in mind the water level has to be a certain level for the filter to function properly.

I have a Reeves turtle that is considerably smaller than your RES in a 50 gallon tank but filled less than 1/2 way full. This has been the only filter in the tank for almost 3 years and it works great, the water stays very clear. Do remember to change at least half the water and the filter medium at least once a week or the impeller inside the filter can become clogged.

I used this Finnex for a 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. It was fine at first, but mine did not last very long though. There are Tetra filters at places like Walmart, too, that may be a better choice.

I think it fits any 5 gal. I use a combination of pure life or Poland spring 5 gal. Unit works great.

Yes, it is. If you go get 2 5 gallon water bottles and fill them up at a vending machine ( most cities have them ) then you will not have to buy a new filter. Mine has lasted almost a year and it has no buildup whatsoever. Also on it makes it very easy to fill as i just dump the whole 5 gallon bottle in with 1 cap of anti bacterial. Keeps my nose from cracking and bleeding over my pillow at night.

I am using it on my 5-gallon hex tank and it works great! I previously had a smaller filter (rated at 45gph) that was just not doing the job.

The filters are listed "up to 10 Gal tank" so would probably work, but you need to check the dimensions of the box to be sure it would fit on the back of your 5. It is listed at 100 GPH, so 20 complete 5 gal water changes per hr. Dimensions of the filter listed by mfr 6.4" x 3.8" x 6.3" ( 3.8, so you need 6: high and 6"wide to hang it on the tank. Hope that helps

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

It works great in my 5 gal. The other one I had took the water out too quickly. This gives you plenty of time to suck the bottom stuff up.

No... Very efficient and very decent filter for the price. I run this on my 30 gal marine tank using the sponge it comes with, fluval carbon, seachem purigen and fluval bio max. My tank is always crystal clear and levels stay consistent
