I'm looking to upgrade my existing HOB filter and get a canister filter for my 10 gallon tank. I had pretty much decided that I was going to get an Eheim 2213, but odds are that I will be breaking this tank down to set up a 29 gallon tank in about a year. While I realize that's far away, I was wondering if there was a canister out there with a flow that could support a 29 gallon but serve a 10 gallon for now. Perhaps with a flow control valve, or maybe I would have to mod it, or use sponges over the intakes?
Anyone able to suggest a canister with a flow control that is actually effective? Or should I just forget this, get the 2213 for the 10 gallon, and purchase a new canister when I eventually set up the 29 gallon?

I've never had a canister except for a Toms Rapids Mini (It leaked and I hated it), so this is new for me. Thanks!

I use a Fluval 305 for my 20 gallon. It would be sufficient for a 29 gallon tank, and the flow could be slowed as low as you want until then.

I did something similar when I moved a couple years ago and upgraded from a 10gal to a 29gal. I bought an XP2 a few months before I moved and switched it into the 10gal. It worked pretty well, with not an overwhelming amount of flow in the tank. There's a flow control right before the spray bar. If that's still a lot of flow, you could direct the spray bar holes upward or back into the glass.

Get an Eheim 2236 and slow the flow down for the 10g. Then in the 29g you can supplement it with a powerhead if you need more flow.

I use an old Fluval 303 on a 29. Gives great water flow.
