10g ... filtration

[rreekers]

i have a 10g tank, that is over stocked with fry.

i am getting a new filter, bigger/higher capacity filter.

i was thinking about the aqua clear 30 or 50 (they are the same price on amazon) OR a mini canister filter

I am not leaning towards the AC filter but would a 50g be way to strong even if i turned it down?

i feel it might be okay because on my 29g i have a AC70 and aqueon quiet flow 30 and it does not cause much turbulence in the tank

I know the AC 30 would be good. The AC 50 does move some water but turning it down I think it would work on a 10g.

also i was thinking if the water movement was to strong i could put a sponge filter in the way of the output... this would work? correct?

also i find it hard to get the 30 if the 50 is the same price, then i can use it on another tank in the future if needed

your thinking is correct
You can never have too much filtration so just get the 50 if its the same price
