I have a small 5 gallon tank. Can this filter fit on that size tank?

J Waters is sorda rite. But its always best to over filter. So this filter will suffice. I wouldn't worry about the current one bit. I have 3 hob filters on the back of my 30 gallon.one is a duel bio wheel. And 2 single filters like this one. They fit just perfect. Not sure if all is needed. But its best to over filter than not have enough.

I am using it on my 5-gallon hex tank and it works great! I previously had a smaller filter (rated at 45gph) that was just not doing the job.

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 just bought it for my 5.5 gallon. The hood I have is standard, the opening is pretty much the generic sized "hole" (7" wide, 2" deep) available for that sized hood and it's close, but it fits. The filter doesn't make that much of a current - in fact, the current is water output is less forceful than the output of the cheap filter I replaced with this one. The picture on the box of the water output flow is very deceiving - it's not a waterfall as shown, it's a trickle effect. Very happy with it nonetheless, it seems to live up to the promise on the box that it "keeps water crystal clear". I just bought it for my 5.5 gallon.

When you say "fit", I think you mean fit the hood that comes with the tank. If the filter opening of the hood is more than 7" long by 2" wide, then the QuiteFlow 10 should fit it. Otherwise, you have to open up the filter opening. The intake tube inside the tank is adjustable and the filter hangs 3" down outside the tank. It's a great little filter. It has space in the filter to fit an extra carbon bag. After a year at this, the most important maintenance item is the weekly 10-20% water change.

It might. Just barely if so. You might want to aquire the dimensions of your tank and the filter itself before purchasing. Just ah thought. If not you can always send it back ya know. No harm no foul.

I bought this for my 10 gallon tank. I don't quite understand ur question but I have a standard 10 gallon tank and I have a penguin filter on it and it fits perfectly.

Yes it should fit perfectly, it is 10 X 20. It is a really good filter, I have had mine up from about 6 months now with no problems.

Most likely not. The 5 gals tend to be smaller. But I'd check the dimension of yours first. This one fits a standard 10 gal.

It's rated for 20-50 gal tanks so it should be fine on yours. Much better filtration than most I've used before and a lot easier to clean.

The 10 X 20 lee filter fit perfectly in my tank with same measurements. Good luck

Yes this filter is only good for very small tanks. As long as you have fish you will always have to do water changes. Only one way to slow water changes is live plants.

yes. however you'd have to cut the plastic guard to fit your filter in the tank. measure how far the filter sticks out when placed in the tank and then cut the plastic accordingly.

I do not know if it would fit but I do not recommend this filter. It broke on out first dive trip. I am returning it.

I use the filter for a 25 gallon tank. Seems to work well. The filter completely stops when the cartridges need to be changed. Hope that helps.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

First off, if you have an aquatic turtle he needs more water than that. If it is a tortoise enclosure, this filter will do just fine. It is not meant for heavy duty aquarium filtration. If you have 10+ gallons I would not recommend.

Not sure. perhaps you could check directly with the manufacturer web site or search amazon web. I did this for my other aquarium filter

I'm not sure if it will fit in a 1.5 gallon tank; I have it in a 5 gallon tank and it works great! Here are the dimensions of the filter: 4.2 x 2.4 x 7.8 inches ; 10.4 ounces.

I dunno. The filter basket is 3.5 inches deep, 5 inches across the top, and 3 inches across the bottom. Hope this helps. (:>)))

Depends on the bowl. By that I mean, this is DESIGNED to sit in the edge, but it likely doesn't fit every bowl.I have this one: Tetra 29095 Cube Aquarium Kit, 3-GallonThis filter is about three inches wide and can sit on an edge as thick as a quarter of an inch, give or take a few 8ths. As long as your tank/bowl has a flat side running 3+ inches and is no thicker than a pencil, it should fit.

Yep, too much. Depending on the tank's dimensions, and assuming it will even fit inside your tank, it would "work" if you can adjust the bubbles to an appropriate minimum. But it is definitely larger than you need for a one gallon. A smaller version of this type of filter would be better, like the "Jardin Fish Aquarium Mini Cylinder Soft Sponge Water Filter, Black". Still, I would want to be able to dial down the bubbles for a smaller tank.
