It's for a 75 gallon which is till a work in progress, just curious, can I test it on my 10 gallon or will it obliterate everything in the tank ? It's a Canister Filter Marineland 530
 
obliterate? It'll have a really massive flow rate for that tank but other than blowing things around I don't see how it'd be a problem. If you have sand in the tank put a sponge over the filter intake.
 
I do not see why not. A betta or gourami might not appreciate it, but most tetras and danios would love it.
 
It just arrived today, holy crap is it a beast, huge. They also included some freebies.

25 ft Auqueon water changer, I already have one of these, not sure what I can do with another one.
bottle of Stress Coat, AmmoniaSafe and ph up, things I don't use or need.
GH & KH hardness test, something else I don't use or need.
Fluval 305/405 tubing, now why would they include that for a Marineland canister, don't know what to do with that.
Bubble Disk and another air stone thingy.

All and all, some nice gifts but I can't use most of it. Will they let me send them back for items I can use ?
