I have an Aqua-Tech filter in a 10 gallon tank w/ 2 mollies, 2 tetras, and one betta. The problem is that it seems to create quite a current for the fishies. I've seen some of them struggle sometimes. There is no adjustment on the filter to make it less powerful, but I noticed that the pipe that takes the water into the filter can be loosened...and when I do that, I can basically adjust the power. I don't know if this is safe because I dont know how fast the water is being filtered when I adjust it. And its only a 2 week old aquarium so I'm sure there will be a few more spikes. But loosening the pipes a lil would cause less stress on the fish. It seems like a catch 22 to me, but I'm sure someone w/ more experience can answer this :).
