10 Gallon Tank: Getting a stronger filter

yask89 · July 11th, 2009

Would it be ok to change my aquatech 5-15 gallon filter to something bigger like a 20-30 gallon one? Thanks!

Good morning. Extra filtration is always nice. Take into consideration, can your fish handle the stronger current. Rule of thumb for filtration is: 8 to 10 x the volume of your tank. So for a 10g tank then 100gph filter is good.

yeah more GPH the better imo as long as you dont blow around the fish in your tank lol
