Would this pump work for a single sponge filter for a 10 gallon tank?

Yes , mine has been driving one filter for a year just fine. To control air volume, I use a three way valve (one inlet, two outlet) and simply bleed off excess air to the room air.

It might be too powerful for only a 10 gallon tank. I use it in my 70 gallon tank.

I am only running it as a UV sterilizer on a 10 gallon nano reef tank. I have a HOB wisper filter for my mechanical filtration. So I really don't know.

I purchased a Tetra Whisper Air Pump from Amazon for approximately $7, which would have been more than enough if this filter had actually worked. The smallest Tetra pump is good for tanks up to 10 gallons.

My pool was 10K gallons and the filter worked fine for me. I think this would be a good selection for your application.

I use 5 gallon jugs and that works fine....probably it would work for 10 too...

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.

It will work but I usually associate 1HP with the 100 sq/ft filter. It sounds like you may have more pump than you need for 10,000 gallons.

I used this filter in a 10 gallon tank full of Guppies. It did very well for about a year and then I changed the cotton and charcoal.

Yes this specific pump has dual ports. This may be a little much for a 10 gallon tank unless you have an under gravel filtration system installed. Really nice pumps and super quiet!

This is not a suitable filter for any aquarium setup , where the water level is more then three inches below the top of the tank. Unless you intend to use the filter system without the hard straight pipe that comes with it...If you just use the rubber hose then it will work just fine..Simply adjust the depth to the desired level and make sure the suction or drain side is at least three to four inches below the water line.....

This filter needs to be fully submerged and has to sit vertically. It would probably need a minimum of around 5-6 inches of water to work properly. I use them in some of my breeding tanks instead of sponge filters. I can put carbon in there along with the gravel and ceramic biological material.

If you are using it for aesthetics or just airation. Either would be fine. But if you have a sponge filter attatched, I prefer to be a little on the high side on filteration pumps.

No this is for an itty bitty tank, maybe 1 gallon, and itty bitty filter. :)

if they fit in your filter, they should work. However they are meant for a mini filter, I use them in my 3.5 gallon tank. So I'm not sure how they will work in a 10 gallon. However, if they fit I wouldn't pass up the deal, way cheaper than petsmart.

Yes, it would work but the strength of the pump would be alittle too much on your small tank......the regulator on the exhaust of the pump included in the package would be a necessity in your case or you will have some serious current/wave action going on in your tank.....

I haven't used it in a 10 gallon, but I don't see why it wouldn't. It works great in my 75 gallon.

Honestly it's for a 10 to maybe 20 gallon tank and will not fit your size range. You can check the dimensions on aqueon, I understand you want superior filtration in a smaller unit but you want be able to close your lid with this I'm there. Try sponge filters.
