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.

its always good to have extra air bubbles. you can vent some air. also as the unit weakens with age you still will have plenty of air. also if you use a long air bubble airator you need the volume. good luck its a great unit and quiet.

The larger pump is very powerful. I have it connected to a four foot long bubbler ( which is very long for a bubbler) and it bubbles like crazy. This may be too much for a 10 gallon tank.

Personally I would go with the 20 gallon pump, if the air is too much you can turn it down if you have the air valves installed.

I would order the 20 gallon one since your take is more bigger. But if you feel like you will be upgrading soon I would consider going for the 40 but def. 20 will work just fine. I honestly love my 10 gallon one on my 10 gallon tank.

If you are using it to run an undergravel filter I'd go with the 20-40 gallon. If you are just using it for bubbles, I'd say the 10 is fine. It is very strong and puts out a LOT of air.

That is completely up to you. If you are planning on getting a longer tank, I would go with the 24-36". Also, with the 18-24", you will have 3" on both sides of the tank that will rely on light refraction and light angle to get light. In my personal opinion, get the 24-36". This way the tank will get the most light and help the plants.

I have a 40 gallon tank and I use the large Algone. I am very happy with the product. I have cichlids in my tank.

Not Sure, I have a 10 gallon heater and you have a 16 gallon heater. Go to the Suburban web site and look up the parts list for your heater

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

A 75 Gallon is usually 36" in width or length, so I would recommend the 36" to 48". That way, when you have the LED lights on, it will be a bit brighter in the right and left side of the tank, as well. My suggestion, though, is if you want it pretty bright, then I'd go with the Double Bright LED lights.

One drop in services a 40 gallon tank for me. However. A smaller system such as yours will not be harmed with one drop in it will just be extra fresh and pleasant to clean up. Basically y one drop in per application is the rule.

The mini works good with a 5 gallon tank and would probably be fine for a 10 but it may be slow. The small may be a better fit for bigger tanks.

The 16" light legs may extend far enough, since you only need an inch on either side. The 20inch would or course overhang your tank but the legs could push farther in and fit on the 18". The 20" would give more light output too, I can tell you on my 10g (20"long) tank it provides more medium than low light.

I can run three 40 gallon tanks and still have more to use, do not know on nine

If you use It for extended time periods the more gallons the compressor has the more even the power will be. A 20 gal is mid range. A small compressor will do ok for small amounts of time but might struggle for prolonged usage.

I have one and it appears to be the equivalent of a 10 gallon tank except it's tall vs long. This tank measures 12×12×18 and a 10 gallon tank measures about 20"Long x 11" Wide x 12"High. So it takes up about the same space as a 10 gal turned on one of it's side. I have one and it's being used for 2 poison dart frogs. I will also be purchasing another one for 1 Crested Gecko

I had one in a 20L and thought it provided good flow for that size. I have also used it for a 10g QT tank as the only flow, it works well for that purpose as well. Depending on the amount of flow you need in the 20L and the amount of rocks / etc in there, you may need more flow than just one koralia 425.

I use 5 gallon and 3 gallon..........both are fine. I happen to like the 3 gallon better, because it's easier for me to handle. You'll like it!!!

I would stay with the 20LB tank...keep a spare if you are worried about running out while cooking. A tank next to the grill looks too tacky.

If you want to save on cycling time you have to add all of the water from the the 16 gallon to the 50 gallon. If you start it from scratch like I have, you need to cycle your tank for at least 2 weeks with throw away fish. I have a baby oscar in a 10 gallon. I have started cycling mine with guppies so that when he goes in the 50 in a couple more weeks he will have food available that are clean and disease free. I am cycling my tank for three weeks just to be safe. If you are planing on saltwater, I cannot help you there but to say the cycling time is much longer.
