I always use power filters except on tanks used for breeding or rearing tiny fry so that I don't loose baby fish up the filter tubes. The way I decide what size filter to use is to check what the maximum water throughput is of the filter. In the case of a 30 US Gallon tank I would want the filter to turn over at least 30 gallons per hour. Double or tripple that turnover is much better though. (They can always be turned down a bit if required) I also want my filters to use both noodles and sponge and be easy to service.

Can you put piranha's in a 10 gallon tank?
Definately not in the plural form. A 10 gal tank in use only holds around 8 gals or so. 1 Piranha would be over maximum capacity.. The basic rules are. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Piranha is about a 10 inch fish) Every tank must have a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.
