does this work for a 10 gallon?

Yes, I purchased this specifically for a 10 gallon and it worked very well. It is an extremely efficient filter, easy to change cartridges, and basically soundless. Could not be better for a smaller tank.

i presume it depends on the size lamp you purchase. i have the 10 gallon size on my 30 gallon tank and it works wonderfully. from what i read you had 2 on yours. if so i would purchase 2 of the 10 gallon sizes ones. that is this one here. my fish love the lighting and are thriving under it. if 1 is good for my tank, 2 should be efficient for yours. i hope this helps you with your choice.

Way way way to powerful for a 10 gallon. I would suggest exoterra 250 for that size and its half the price.

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 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.

It's a Whisper-10 pump (designed for a 10-gallon tank) being used for a 10-gallon tank. It's only running two airstones for the gravel filter now, but it would run one more thing too, like an aerator.

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

It is indeed a ten gallon tank and does come with a heater, filter, light and hood. It's very easy to set up. The one thing you will want to change however, is to get an adjustable temperature heater.

possibly, it's pretty big but it will likley do fairly well. In a 10 gallon it takes up 1/4 to a 1/3 of the space.

YES with modification and depends on the size of your tank this works great on a 10 gallon but would over have a few inches the bulbs are only 24 inch long anyway i use it on my 10 gallon nano coral tank works perfect

The 10 watt is too much for your tank. I had mine in a 3 gal and it was too warm.

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.

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

I wouldn't. I put mine in my 5 gallon Fluval Chi (minus the original light/filter) It's OK for that. But not a 10 gallon in my opinion.

This gravel vacuum is great for a 10 gallon tank. my tank is much smaller and I stir up the rocks to pick up the fish poop.

It would def keep your 10 gal tank clean for along time and it would be very safe for a small turtle. I've been very happy with this filter. We have little baby fish all the time and they're totally fine. The filter is quiet and it's nice to not have to clean the tank all the time!

Is the 5 gallon tank bigger than 10 inches? If so Id say yes. If not then no.
