ac 50 vs. 70

[Labojo]

I am setting up a 10 gallon and wondering if I should get the ac 50 or 70 hob filter. I already have a marineland maxi jet 400 powerhead rated at 110 gph.

i got a 10 gallon too. using a ac70, and a powerhead rated at 425 gph and i still dont think its enough flow.

Yep, go big. If you ever found your flow to be too high (which you won't) you can easily trim the Aquaclear's impeller down to reduce it.

I put an AC110 on a 10 gallon once using that method.
