Wow, for a 5 gallon? Will the spray bar even fit?

Turn down the flow from the filter if it's too high, over-filtering won't hurt.

If the spray bar won't fit you can always cut it down with a hack saw

yup, it fitted on my 5 gallon gallon tank. on first the pressure is to high but i manage to lower the flow rate by using the double tap that included on the filter set. i also bought a mini sponge filter so that i can connect to the inlet. this ways this way the shrimplets will not be caught in the filter
