Not really this is for a canister filter ...I use it in a FX5..probably to big for your filter.

This is a component of the fluval canister filter. For a five gallon tank the canister filter would be too large for your filtering needs. Hope this helped!!

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

Sorry, I was talking about my 5 gal. heated water container. Yes I think it would work well but may need smaller wire mesh for the bottom for a while

Mine works great in my 5 gallon goldfish tank. I'd only hesitate using it for bettas because sometimes water currents can damage their delicate fins.

Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work. I'm always a fan of having a little extra filtration capacity, since if the filter is rated for 15 gallons (as this one is) that's assuming its clean and operating normally. Getting the PF25 would give you a little extra filtration and flow in your tank. Those are just my thoughts. I really liked the idea and concept of this filter and it seemed to work fine for me, I just couldn't get it to fit under my aquarium shroud, so I ended up returning and got a secondary fiter to support the primary one. UV is definitely a good thing for your aquarium though!

It has worked perfect and reliably for my 5 gallon betta tank, but it could possibly be too powerful for your use. Also, it's rather large in size, it would take up a lot of tank space.

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.

I have a 5 gallon tank and these do the job ok. I think if it were anything larger than 5 I would move up a size. Beyond that they are great, easy to change and only require a rinse before you install a fresh one.

This barely cleared a 75 gallon tank. I would look for a commercial unit. Maybe call your local aquarium and ask the maintenance or facilities personnel where they get theirs.

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first. Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

It should work. I was losing a couple of gallons a day and it took care of the problem.

I use it for a five gallon tank and it is great. A one gallon tank might be to small. Prior to getting this I had a flat heater that was under my gravel that auto censored to keep a tank at the right temp. The only problem with it was I needed to have more control of the temp in the. You might try finding it, sorry but I don't remember what kind it was, but I know it was for smaller tanks.

You'd have to look at the measurements of the tank. I got this for my 30 gal tank.

yes it will work. But I would get a bigger tank for the Beta' at least a 2.5 gallon. Would you like living in a closet?

It probably would. If not, switching to another canister only takes moments. You might consider an adapter hose and 5 gallon tank.

It won't fit your tank. My recommendation would be to get a canister filter. You will have more control over filtration, water flow and currents. Canister filters also work better and are more efficient than a hang on back.

I think that this would be a bit much for a 40 gallon tank. I would go for a lesser model. it works well on my 55 gallon tank but I would not go lower than that
