I've got a ten gallon, standard rectangle tank. Would this vac work well with it?

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.

This vacuum is quite large. Although you may be able to use it I wouldn't think it practical or cost effective for a small tank.

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 have mine mounted on a standard 10 gallon tank and it seem to work OK. It's not as tight as I would like but it will work.

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.

Yes, I purchased this specifically for a 10 gallon and it worked very well. It is an extremely efficient filter, easy to change cartridges, and basically soundless. Could not be better for a smaller tank.

The TOM unit on Amazon isn't big enough for a 75-gallon aquarium. The hose is too short and too small in diameter. What the unit does is clean up the old food, fish mess and other debris from the gravel at thebottom. It works like a vacuum cleaner (it's usually called a vacuum pump) and picks up the debris and sends it through the hose into a bucket that you have placed lower than the aquarium (5-gallon or bigger).

I sat mine inside of a ten gallon tank when I was moving, it fits but takes up almost half of the tank. It will be fine if you have something less than 4-5 inches in there. Just keep in mind the water level has to be a certain level for the filter to function properly.

I believe it will without any problem. The important thing to remember is to use an "allergen" type bag regardless of the brand of vac.

I use the mini for the 5 gallon and it is a good size for that tank. It might be a little small for a 10 gallon.I just searched through the customer reviews and many that have a 10 gallon say it will work for the 10. You can search customer reviews for "10", or look at the other questions that answer about the 10 gallon.

No. You need a bigger stick-on heater for a ten gallon. This one is made for about 1.5-3 gallons

I use a 10 gallon pump with this. I don't think the tank or filter matters.

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

I think this would be way too big and strong for a small tank. You're better off with a siphon type vacuum like the Aqueon mini siphon vacuum but you may want the medium size one. I use the mini one in my 5 gallon.

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.

My tank is a 25 gallon hexagon. I think it will fit a 10, but it depends on the dimensions.

The information states for up to a 10 gallon tank. As for sponge filter or double sponge, I can offer no info.

I use it with a VacMaster VP112 and run into same problem sometimes. If you put a little pressure on the VP112 lid in the beginning of the vacuuming process it should work fine, it does for me.
