Is this suitable for a ten gallon tank?

Yes. It is a bit overkill, but I have found it to be the most effective way because of the directional pump. Just be aware that it removes water very quickly and to not remove too much.

Ditto on what Adam said. I use this on my 50 gallon reef and it does a great job, but flows quickly so be prepared. Honestly, I think this would be overkill on a 10 gallon...you may not have time to effectively vacuum due to the high flow rate. On a side note, the hose isn't the greatest quality and tends to kink if you don't pay attention.

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

Yes depending on the use. For a full ten gallon tank with fish no problem, but if you use it for a turtle tank not completely full it would be too powerful.

It's been working great we have it on a 30 gallon. We use a turkey baster to siphon out the junk really easy. Skims off a dark yellow skim. It's nice size small size too. I think would be fine in 10 gallon.

I used it in a 10 gallon before I put it in my 50 gallon. I kept it turned down all the way, buried it under the gravel and it was great!! I wouldn't turn it up but if you keep it closed off most of the way (the ability to adjust the airflow is a great feature)...and you would be good to go. It is better in my eyes in that way than a smaller bubble stone because if you upgrade in the future it can be used in a much bigger aquarium as well. So short answer-yes you can use it in a 10 gallon. I did.

Some of these answers are wrong. This DOES NOT fit 20 inch, ten gallon aquariums. It is a 16 inch hood.

This stand is built for a 10 to 20 gal tank maximum. Larger tanks would be to heavy for the weight of the stand.

it should but just barley you might have to rig the pipe a little to get more depth...also pending on size a ten gallon tank is suitable for only 1 turtle. just in case I would get the next size up for the filter.

I don't think so, I put mine in a 10 gallon tank with little fish and they did fine!

It would probably work, but, depending on the dimensions of the tank the vacuum head might be a bit tight. It works great for my 20 gallon and would do very well for a 10 gallon. Five gallon tanks vary so much in their dimensions that I think a tall narrow, rounded tank might be difficult to clean with this vacuum.

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.

I use the mini siphon on my ten gallon and it works awesome! I had a larger one from a different aquarium and it really was impractical for that size tank.

Yeah, 10 gallons of water in a tank is about 60 pounds, and we can set on it (weighing about 125), so i'd say yes. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

Mounts internally. Air pump flows air through a wooden block inside the skimmer which creates bubbles that collect waste from your tank water. Yes it would work fine in a 10 gal tank
