    hagen aquaclear models are available in the UK which are hang on back and reasonable units IME

    or you could go cannister under the tank, in which case Fluval models are available in UK and they are the business IME

    For a 10 gallon that looks like a reasonable unit - its rated at 60 plus UK gallons per hour , which is not a bad turnover rate

    in a quarantine tank , you need to remove the carbon if you are treating with any medications ( the carbon will remove the meds)
