I agree that they are a little low, but I use a Koralia 240 to mix my salt water in a 5 gallon bucket and it works great. I have a Evolution 750 and a nano 425 in my 40B DT right now and it moves the water quite well. I have an extra 750 and might replace the 425 with the 750, but i don't think I would have to.

Anyway, a 425 would be fine alone in a 10g. I think 2 nano 240s would work "better" just because you could get a little more of a random flow.
