ASG Mini Canister Filter for a 13 Gallon Long?

Help/Advice

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I've been running a 5 gallon with a HOB for a couple years now, and finally have the space to upgrade. I was able to get my hands on a 13.3 gallon long, and I'm trying to choose a canister filter for it.

I've had my eye on the ASG Mini Canister Filter for a while now with the original intent of replacing the HOB on my 5 gallon. But now that I have this bigger tank, I'm wondering if the ASG Mini would prove underpowered for a tank of that size.

I've looked at the Fluval 107 as well, but it seems overpowered for my needs. Not to mention price - the ASG Mini comes with lily pipes and a few other things included. It feels like a great all-inclusive option for someone balling on a budget.

Does anyone have experience trying the ASG Mini Canister on a 10 gallon+ tank? Or just experience with that model in general and can speak to it? Also open to other canister recommendations.

Thank you!
