The information states for up to a 10 gallon tank. As for sponge filter or double sponge, I can offer no info.

it will work fine in a 8 gallon tank..The D-732 is bigger..May be too big for your tank.

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first. Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

I have been using theses filters for ever, I would suggest moving up to one size bigger, the larger has an extension tube that comes with it, this one only goes about 6" into the water. When it comes to filtration, bigger is better if you have room, the larger has 2 chambers/holds 2 media inserts, you will be much happier and the tank will be much cleaner, and there isn't a lot of difference in the cost.

I have a 75 gallon and run an eheim 2217 which is very large. I know a lot of folks will run two 2217 filters in a 75 or 90 gallon if they are heavily stocked. Eheims have great reputation if you search some of the forums from the hobby specific sites. I decided to not run the pro3 series because the classic 2217 can fit so much more biomedia for big tanks. I left the pro3 for my smaller 45 gallon tank. Check it out yourself and compare the flow rate and capacity before you choose the model.

This co 2 regular is better for like 5 gallon tank at best IMO, just because the refill cost too much to replace. You better off for looking into co2 tank and regulator. Check out mr.aqua regulator tank.

It won't fit your tank. My recommendation would be to get a canister filter. You will have more control over filtration, water flow and currents. Canister filters also work better and are more efficient than a hang on back.

I use mine for a 29 gallon tank. It's always better to use a filter that can handle a little more capacity than what you have, but you could probably still get by with just a C3 filter, since it handles 20 to 50 gallons.

I would order the 20 gallon one since your take is more bigger. But if you feel like you will be upgrading soon I would consider going for the 40 but def. 20 will work just fine. I honestly love my 10 gallon one on my 10 gallon tank.

I currently have sponge filters connected to 12 10-gallon tanks, 2 20-gallon tanks, and 2 29-gallon tanks. Please note that the fish are mostly guppies and cories so they don't need that much aeration. I could probably connect more tanks if needed.

Very good for 10 gal and safe for turtles but I own turtles and I would say buy the biggest filter u can afford you will need it our 2 sliders are now in a 75gal after only 4 years and and have been threw many filters up to there current filter and they are dirty it takes a lot of filtration to keep there tank clean

im not sure i can answer that but i would put my faith in the people that made it biger isnt always beter my water in my 7 gallon tank is clear and no phospate or alergie but i do have snails and cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs but for 10 gallons i would say buy the smaller one unless in the future you want to get a biger tank

A 75 Gallon is usually 36" in width or length, so I would recommend the 36" to 48". That way, when you have the LED lights on, it will be a bit brighter in the right and left side of the tank, as well. My suggestion, though, is if you want it pretty bright, then I'd go with the Double Bright LED lights.

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

There are different size filters for different size tanks. So that's why there is different size cartridges. Sounds like u need the large.

Hi,I have a 10 gallon tank and it's fine! I didn't think there would be a smaller one. It definitely does the job. X

It works really well for my little turtle. I'm not sure what kind he is but he is about the size of my hand. I got him in a 15-20 gallon fish tank with about 4-5 inches of water roughly and the filter works good.
