would this filter be ok for a 10 gallon take?

No because a 15 gal canister will require once a week cleaning for active turtles. I suggest a larger gal canister in order to decrease the frequency of cleaning.

In my opinion, a 10 g wouldn't require this sort of thing unless you'd like to create a population of copepods or to raise macroalgae to help reduce nitrates/phosphates. It doesn't provide much "flow", whatsoever. It merely drips into your display tank.

The information states for up to a 10 gallon tank. As for sponge filter or double sponge, I can offer no info.

Yes it will fit on a standard 10 gallon, however it has a fairly strong rate of flow and may have troubles on such a small aquarium.

I would SO use this for a 10 Gallon, the extra filtration is never a bad thing, and allows for the future upgrade of aquarium size. Often people overstock a 10 gallon and this size would keep up with the extra waste.. It doesn't make it OK to overstock though. I Purchased an aquarium kit (25G High) and this was included, I will put this on my 10 and transfer my Fluval C3 to the 25. My filter measures about 7''. Soooo, long story short I would recommend you trim your hood. Just cut it up, don't sweat it..

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 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, yes I have it in a ten gallon tank for my fire bellied toads. It works great. I get the bio bag filters for it as they are cheaper than the tetra ones.

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.

Yes it should fit perfectly, it is 10 X 20. It is a really good filter, I have had mine up from about 6 months now with no problems.

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

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

It should do well in a 5 gallon tank. The only concern I would have is if it would fit, but with this filter you can position it either vertically or horizontally.

I bought this for my 10 gallon tank. I don't quite understand ur question but I have a standard 10 gallon tank and I have a penguin filter on it and it fits perfectly.

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

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.
