cans filters come in different sizes with corresponding flows. Although the container filter is exaggerated for 10 gallon (38 liters) tank, a modest filter of a tank of 20 - 30 gallons (75 - 113 liters) would be fine, even if you want to deflect the current or use the spray bar. And of course the canisters filters are an excellent choice for medium to large tanks unless the sump is desirable. In this case, a wet/dry filter would be used, making the container unnecessary filter.
