Sorry can't really help as my setup is small - 30lit tank. I use my Maxi-Jet inside the tank to filter my tank water. It's not the best setup but after spending Au$100+ I'm determined to use the pump for something.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

Hi, the original filter is strong, but you can lower the current by adding a media inside and covering the intake holes. Please check out my review from the last year. I posted few tips on how to work with filter in a case you have a Betta fish :-).

I don't think this will be helpful to you now, but I recently replaced my Maytag filter with the Swift filter and it leaked instantly. I took it down and replaced it with another Maytag filter and its doing great now. I'll only buy the Maytag filters from now on. Best of luck to you.

have you had better luck with your filter? Just received mine, have hooked it up but can't get suction. Have primed it, filled the tank first, as mentioned in another post. Have not shortened the length of the tubing as yet. Any advice?

The filter has female one inch pipe thread. Your tubing looks to be too big. You could use reducers, but that would reduce flow. There are inline filters that are made specifically for irrigation, I think the culligan filter is overkill.

It would def keep your 10 gal tank clean for along time and it would be very safe for a small turtle. I've been very happy with this filter. We have little baby fish all the time and they're totally fine. The filter is quiet and it's nice to not have to clean the tank all the time!

Don't know if the flow from the filter would cause problems. It is still very quiet.

If you have a Minibow type 5 gallon, it should fit, the question is, will it separate the bettas adequately, and when I had it, it didn't.

I had to cut the black trim on my tank because it didn't fit but it's all roses now. But honestly my filter sucks really bad. It's very loud and it overflows even when it's brand new I'm not satisfied with mine at all. But tetra is a good company as far as I know so mine could be defective. But I'm just cautioning you that mine has had problems...

I think this would be OK for a 10 gallon...although you may want to use a slightly bigger one...I use this mini for a 2 gallon betta tank and it is just the right size for that. Because it is so small...it does siphon slowly so it may take you a while to do half to full water changes on a ten gallon. Still it would work. Hope that helps.

Yes this will and it is a better filter, I have tried the other styles and they always let stuff though and clog pretty quick, these last longer and filter better. Locally I can get the string filter like these that filter down to 5 Microns which I like even better.

No, I am using mine in a 2 1/2 gallon Aqueon Betta Tank housing a red male Crown-tail Betta & a dwarf African frog. If you face the exhaust nozzle towards the rear of the filter just against the wall behind the filter just below the water's surface the water turbulence will be greatly diminished. I hope this information was helpful.

Be sure your water level is to top of tank. I used 2 filters in mine for extra clean tank. I also opened top strainer 1/2 open. Mine is so quiet I have to check that it is running. If noise continues I would contact the company for a replacement.

You can put a rectangular generic filter sponge on the out put, it diffuses the water flow and makes it quieter.

It is by far, the quietest filter I have. Any time you have movement, you have noise, so I don't like the word "silent" but the motor's hum is barely audible and only if you are right next to it. If you keep your tank topped off, there is no sound of waterfall or dripping. I highly recommend this filter. I use it for my betta tanks and am especially happy with the intake sponge that protects the bettas and provides additional filtration.
