10gal filter?

[bozco]

I want to get rid of my undergravel system on my 10gal. It doesn't work very well and the pump is too loud (its in my bedroom) that and it is a pain in the a** to clean.

I reciently got a new tank that came with a aquaclear HOB filter and it is very quiet and seems to be very efficeint. Its a 200, so I was wondering what size I should get for my 10gal. Should I get the aquaclear Mini or the aquaclear160? Also what would you recommend for a 5gal, which I might also want to switch off the UGF system.

I'm really completely clueless when it comes to filters, but what I really want is to get rid of my airpumps.

A mini is rated for 10g. 150 would work well too. Since they price differs by about $5, might as well get the 150.

Whoops. Sorry I posted in the wrong section. This post will be in the products forum. Please reply there. Sorry again.

I'm worried about the current in the 10gal if I go with the bigger one

Most HOB filters have a flow control valve on them that will allow you to increace/decrease the amount of flow into your tank...so i would get the bigger one and if its too much flow just turn it down a bit.
