I think the better question is what size tank are you using and what do you want to keep? Depending on live stock plans the water movement could be anywhere from 20 - 60x turnover rate.

Koralia nano for sure.

 

You will experiment like everyone else though. Even when you create a vortex that treatens to suck your couch into the tank, you will still have that one dead spot that curses you night and day. Wow, have I really been at this for this long?

I have a 10g too and I have a Koralia nano and an AC 70 with fuge mod and the flow seems to be decent (about 400gph). I have a new tank that will be 26g but has a pretty big foot print (24x18x14) and in it I am going with 2, maybe 3 nanos and an AC 110 also with the fuge mod. What are you wanting to keep in you 10g?
