Hi , I ran a Tetratec EX700 on a small tank and just kept the flow low, no probs, one of the Eheim eccos would probably be a good bet, I have recently seen TMC V2 PowerBox filters (nano version avaliable) , don't know anything about them though, might be worth a look, hope this helps

By canister filter, do you mean external filter?

 

[Henry21]

Okay thank you ill look into those and see what I find

And yes a external canister filter sorry I was unclear

Possibly try the Fluval 105 or the Fluval 205. I'm currently running the 205 on my 125L tank and it's superb!

+1 Fluval 105

I was thinking of the 105 but it is rated for double the size of my ten gallon so would this water flow be to much or would it just need getting used to?

It's rated for 100L tanks and it's always best to go for a filter that is capable of dealing with approximately double the amount of water your tank can hold. 10 Gallons being around 45 litres, I think the Fluval 105 is very suitable for your needs.

It should be ok. It should give you around 10X water turnover=good water circulation and cleaner tank
