Would this mini size be ok with a 10 gallon tank or should I get the small size one ?

I think this would be OK for a 10 gallon...although you may want to use a slightly bigger one...I use this mini for a 2 gallon betta tank and it is just the right size for that. Because it is so small...it does siphon slowly so it may take you a while to do half to full water changes on a ten gallon. Still it would work. Hope that helps.

I would get the smaller size one. I find this mini size a little bit to large and cumbersome to use

I use mine on a five gallon tank and think it would work equally well for 10 gallons... I would not go smaller.

Hi,I have a 10 gallon tank and it's fine! I didn't think there would be a smaller one. It definitely does the job. X

The mini works good with a 5 gallon tank and would probably be fine for a 10 but it may be slow. The small may be a better fit for bigger tanks.

We use it in our 25 gallon tank and it works great although it is a little slow. However, this gives you more time to suction the more dirty parts of your aquarium. I think you will love it.

Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.

my tank is only 30 from side to side... so I think it will be to small. But I am not totally sure.

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

It will not fit in the 10 gallon tank. I got a 30 gallon tank and my turtles love the space.

In my opinion, depending on how many hermits you have, I would recommend anywhere from a 5-10 gallon tank. This one would be too small. I'm using this tank for a smaller species tarantula. Hermies need more space than this tank would provide.

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 have mine mounted on a standard 10 gallon tank and it seem to work OK. It's not as tight as I would like but it will work.

I use the mini for the 5 gallon and it is a good size for that tank. It might be a little small for a 10 gallon. I just searched through the customer reviews and many that have a 10 gallon say it will work for the 10. You can search customer reviews for "10", or look at the other questions that answer about the 10 gallon.

Yes, 10 Gallon tank would be prefect. These really do help keep water clean. Just lift sponges out and squeeze them in old tank water to clean and put them back. I love these sponge filters.

I am sorry but I am not sure...I have the smallest one for my 10-gallon tank.

No that would probably fit a 10 gallon but this tank is 12 x 8 total. I bought the Versa glass top and it was a perfect fit.

I would assume so. I use a 5 gallon and would imagine that a smaller one would fit as well.

No. It takes up half of my 39 gallon (tall) tank. It is beautiful but for a 10 gallon tank I would suggest a zoo med small size turtle dock.

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.

im not sure i can answer that but i would put my faith in the people that made it biger isnt always beter my water in my 7 gallon tank is clear and no phospate or alergie but i do have snails and cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs but for 10 gallons i would say buy the smaller one unless in the future you want to get a biger tank

I am using it in a 50 gallon tank. I think the next size would be best if going any larger than this.
