Thank you for sharing that! I bought one of these at Petco for $19 off their clearance table and have been wanting another sooo badly!!!

What is the smallest tank this would be good for? Is it too large for a 2.5 gal tank?

I've never had a canister

It would be slight overkill for a 2.5, but if you want a canister, you can make it work. You can always reduce the outflow, and large media capacity isn't a bad thing.

Of course the deal is over now. :fish1:

Is there a means of slowing it beyond the built-in controls? I know a lot of people do mods on filters, but am not sure how one might go about it on these guys.

Yes, there are many ways to effectively reduce the flow.

One easy one would be a spray bar, with rather large holes, with the flow pointed toward the glass.

You could also add 2 T's, one to inlet, one to outlet, and connect one end of the two T's, the other ends go to/from tank. Basically you create a second circuit/bypass, so you don't throttle down the filter, but less water goes to/from your tank. You could add a ball valve to fine-tune the flow. Kinda hard to explain, I need to do some drawing.
