i have a 10g nano reef would this be of any use for my tank with a pump for flow ofc?

Absolutely. I have used this on all 3 of my tanks, in different situations and it was definitely a blessing. It's a good thing to have when keeping up a fishtank.

It depends on what you want to use it for. In general, I would say yes, as adding any amount to the total water source will help to stabilize the water. For a nano reef, putting this on a timer opposite the lights of your main tank, and filling it with macro algae would help reduce night pH swings.

In my opinion, a 10 g wouldn't require this sort of thing unless you'd like to create a population of copepods or to raise macroalgae to help reduce nitrates/phosphates. It doesn't provide much "flow", whatsoever. It merely drips into your display tank.

Can't answer this. I bought this pump to replace a bad OEM pump on our Mercruiser IO. Worked fine, but I have no idea if it would be appropriate fo what you want to do. Sorry.

This what I used for my quarantine Tank for new comers. Fish seemed to like it. Real quiet. I do agree with capslock and it might not be enough to clear all dead spots in tank if you have alot of decor. A friend of mine has two of these with the random flow caps on top of them, His tank is a taller 30g though. If you need more info share what kind of tank your setting up too, this will help define what flowrates are needed, ie. is saltwater, reeftank, freshwater?

I think this will be too small for your purposes. I would look for something that has 4 gal per minute flow. Our is primarily used for a workroom in the garage.

Yes you can, just make sure your air.pump is the right size should be for a 10-20 gallon tank. If you have other tanks that are already cycled put the sponges in that water for a day or too to let the bacteria start growing.

Yes. I found the pump with the kit to not be strong enough. You need to purchase a separate pump, and if you are using the Nano system, make sure you have enough room in the back to hold the refugium and pump for that matter. Hope this helps.

You "could" use it in a ten gallon but it would take up a lot space. It is 5 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches but it says that in the description. The tube sticks up 2 or 3 inches higher. Try to picture that in your tank before you buy it. If you're good with that then it will work fine. Mine is in a 55 gallon tank and has a very large air pump hooked to it. If you use a small air pump it won't move as much water. Jardin makes a smaller filter like this one. I would choose the smaller one over this one for a 10 gallon tank.

It depends on the flow rate you need. If you have a 750 GPH overflow (or 900 in my case) this pump will work fine. If you require more, you'll want to go larger. Typically, a general rule of thumb is 10 GPM/gallon (i.e. 1000 GPM for a 100 gal tank) but its up to you and depends on how much overall flow you want/need in the tank.

Sadly, no. I have a 3 gallon pico tank, and I thought this would kill my corals with the flow rate. But it has had the opposite effect. Also, you can choose the "direction" of the flow. Either through the bar, or there is a fan tip option. Wonderful system!

We are using it to run two air stones in a 15 gal. tank and it works great. It is a great pump for that. Check what they recommend for your size tank, would be the best way to know for sure.

This was a gift to our son so I haven't used it. I know there is no hand pump. I would imagine if the 5g tank had the same fittings as a hose it should work. I know he used it a lot during fishing season.

This would be large enough providing you us a large input pump. I am using it on a 100gallon myself with a 1200 mag drive pump.

I used it on my 10g tank. The fine control was a bit tricky, but it worked okay in the end.

It might be too powerful for only a 10 gallon tank. I use it in my 70 gallon tank.

I am using this pump on a 30 gallon long it works well. I wish i would have bought the next size up and turned the flow down

Dont think so. Water should be pumping out. Otherwise, pump motor will burn up. Make sure the water level in your tank is high enough.

Not at all. If you went to the next size pump it definitely would be. It's adjustable so flow won't be an issue.
