I'd like to set up a canister filter on my 10G tank. I think it'll be a nano reef. I kept my eyes on this new Marineland C editions (C-160,C-220, etc..), The C-160 would do 160G/Hr. Would that be too strong? I'm affraid it'd blow my corals off the rocks.. Any thoughts?

idk . as long as you dont channel water at the corals, but you already knew that. if it is to strong you can add a shut off in line and restrict some water or the outlet going in to tank add a few more feet to the hose n wrap it like a hose that will also restrict water

Thanx man, I just set up one yesterday. WORKS GREAT!! Perfect waterflow, I'd recommend to anyone for a 10G tank. Today I'll adjust the hoses ( cut them shorter ), so I'll get even some more flow. The canister buy itself is awesome! It'll be much easier to maintance then the Mag350. See ya'!
