thanks for sticking too the topic haha, much appreciated. I have a 110 on my cichlid tank, and am currently running an old 70 on my reef, until I get a new one tomorrow, the problem with this 70 is the media area has a small crack and drips so I need to replace it haha, I thought of maybe doing another aquaclear, but am very curious about the fluval c series I've heard some good things about the 5 stage filtration. just not sure ahaha

If you cut off half the fins on the impeller for the AC110 it will slow the flow down so it would work better on a small tank.

AC 110s really move water. In your experience, what sized tank would this impeller modification work on? Is a 10 too small?

TIA

Hmmm, fluval 105/205? Im running a 205 on my 29 and couldnt be happier. Its honestly the best filter Ive ever run. When I chum the water I cut flow on the fluval and let the circulation pump be the cobra commander for an hour or so. Then I throw the flow back on full. I just love the features on them. People say they feel cheap but I like them. Maybe look into the new marine land canisters. They supposedly have the highest flow of canisters in their class

I am afraid to wreck another impeller this way. Lol and yes, they move a ton of water, what is it, 500gph?

Although that is a definite concern, I didn't have those troubles because I used a small Dremel wheel to sand each removed fan blade down real smooth and accurately.

Hmm...I have used the AC110 as a pod refuge with the impeller mod, never put it on a small tank. I think 10 gallons might be a bit small...probably be just right for a 20.
