is a 80gph filter enough for a ten gallon tank?

the general rule of thumb for a power filter is 10x capacity, so for a 10g you would want 100gph. this is just a rule of thumb and Im sure your filter would work alright for you. I have 80gph canister filter on my 6.6gal, 150gph on my 10gal and 700gph on my 55gal... so you really can't overfilter.
