filter big enough

[A.K.A Zak]

would a 20 gallon filter be good/bad in a 10 gallon?, my plan is to keep my water crystle clear, i will still do water changes of course

hi AKA Zak,
I usually try to get filters that are rated higher than the tank, so the short answer is..."it will be fine"

Sometimes too much water circulation may bother certain types of fish, and the plants will start bending along with the water current. If you are able to reduce the amount of flow when needed, then there should be no problem.

they say to get a filter that will turn over 4 times as much water as that in ur tank an hour.......so if its a 40 ltre tank u want ur filter to pull thru at least 160 litres an hour......but anythin more is okay

A filter rated for a ten gallon tank is really kind of small. You did well to get the larger one, IMHO.
