The tank I have is 10 gallon and after measuring the sides it comes to 10" x 20". Will this fit or have to modify the filter base to fit in?

Yes it should fit perfectly, it is 10 X 20. It is a really good filter, I have had mine up from about 6 months now with no problems.

These filters are tapered down to the edges. Since gravel is going on top, they don't have to have a perfect seal. If you needed to, you could trim the edges to make it fit. If it's a class tank, trim off enough to clear the silicone around the bottom edges.

Hi, my tank is 22"x10" and it fits with quite a bit to spare on the longer measurement so it should fit quite snuggly.

The 10 X 20 lee filter fit perfectly in my tank with same measurements. Good luck

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.

You'd have to look at the measurements of the tank. I got this for my 30 gal tank.

I'd say no. With the bottom base removed, it is 8 inches (maybe a bit shy of 8 inches) from base to the bottom of the filter cup. It would be a very tight fit if you were able to get it under there.

10x2.5" is the right size. There needs to be room in the housing to allow the water to flow around the filters.

I bought this for my 10 gallon tank. I don't quite understand ur question but I have a standard 10 gallon tank and I have a penguin filter on it and it fits perfectly.

not sure on the dimensions..it fits on my 10 gallon aquarium..and there are places for the filter..its scored but you have to cut them out yourself....that was a pain

I am not quite sure. I only used what came with the tank. I do agree that the filter is a little too powerful for this small of a tank. I would just ask that question on google.

no you would have to modify with support.my tank is 12 an 1/2 inches wide,an about 36 long,so it fit nicly on one end an i modifyed a lid to cover the other end.it works so well for my guys,it would be worth it to figure out if you could make a board to fit across the tank to support it.it's light wgt,you could get a peice off plexi glass cut to fit at your local hardware store,just remember to measure to allow for the exit.hope this helps.also it took a wek for them to get use to it an climb up ,then a nother week for them to not be skittish when the were basking,now the love it.

They have different sizes, just measure the top of your tank. Mine fits a 20 gallon standard but I know they have bigger sizes.

you can cut the tube on the side that goes into the tank. make it the length that you need. the slotted part comes off the filter tube and that is where you cut to make it shorter

Fit yes but if have this filter in a 100 gallon tank with 2 turtles and it keeps the water crystal clear so u could get a much smaller one for a 10 gallon tabk

No this will not fit the 10x20. If you wanted to force it, you would have to end up adding holes and cutting the frame which isn't going to be easy and you'll probably screw it up... You're better off buying this one : Eco Plus Permanent Electrostatic Adjustable Air Filter

A few weeks ago I would have had the answer. Threw the old filters away (don't have part number). Just get the measurements from your old filters and match them up with the new and you will be fine.

I'm not sure, my filter measures 20" across, but I had to cut down the tube to make it work for me so it is probably made for a larger filter than mine. My guess is it will work, but it is just a guess.

I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit. You'll want a little extra room around the sides and between the bottom of the tank and the bottom of the filter for proper water flow. You mentioned the tank being cloudy - is it a planted aquarium? I ask because we had the same issue and it was a two part problem. First I reduced the light cycle to only 6 hours a day for two weeks. The other half of the problem was that I was adding organic carbon late in the light cycle, feeding the organisms at top and turning our water cloudy. You need to add it right when the light comes on to help avoid this. I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit.

It will replace any filter with a size of 20x25x5. The size of your current filter will be shown on the filter
