It works great on a 10 Gallon tank and I am now using it on a 20 Gallon. You will still need a filter, the filter on the unit is just to keep objects out of the water path.

Yes, its extremely good. I have the same. They say it lasts for 3 months but mine has lasted for more than a year and the light is still glowing. I don't use it too much, but still. Be careful if you have small fishes and shrimp in your tank. They can get sucked into the filter as its an internal one. Hope this helps.

It probably could be used for that. I have mine in a 20 gallon freshwater tank. Its very powerful and the waterflow is a little strong. Good filter though would definitely recommend.

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 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 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.

Yes. I have been using it for a goldfish ,, I am using a 10 gallon filter , the filter that came with the tank stopped working after about a week.

My tank is a 25 gallon hexagon. I think it will fit a 10, but it depends on the dimensions.

I use it in a 175 tub for a 10" red eared slider turtle, I works well. I use it as pre-filter and a pond 2 gallon sealed barrel bio filter as a polish filter, and a pond pump.

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 haven't owned an Aqueon filter. But my fluval is being used on a 55 gallon bow front tank with 15 adult african peacock cichlids. Water quality is the best it's ever been. Hope this helps.

If you are using it to run an undergravel filter I'd go with the 20-40 gallon. If you are just using it for bubbles, I'd say the 10 is fine. It is very strong and puts out a LOT of air.

There are 3 sizes for filters for different size filter systems. I bought the large, it fits my Aqueon Quiet flow 50. I had a smaller tank and with that a smaller filter system and that system took the medium cartridges. You can search on your filter system for it's size or model number then search online for the right size filter. Good Luck

I don't know about it dimensionally but this is really made for a 10-20 gallon tank. The force of the water flow might be too great for a tank that small. You need to buy a filter sized for your tank and I've never looked for a 5 gallon filter before. I just googled it and got some results but I don't want to suggest something I haven't tried.

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

i think it would work great for about any size up to even 30 gallons because you use it to pick up the debris, not to totally empty out the tank - its better for the fish that way and you get out what you need to. It can also transfer water pretty quick, so this would work with even a larger or smaller tank than 10 gal :) good luck

Depending on the size of your tank, that shouldn't be a problem. When I first got this one, I kept my original filter in with this one and it was probably the cleanest I've ever seen my tank. My tank is a smaller tank (10G) and they still had plenty of room to swim... I have two 3.5 inch turtles.
