Is this filter honourable for my 20 gallon cistern?

i just now brought it but the water comming out of it after filter is comming with a great force and all my aquarium plants are blown from one side to other it seems that they are flying contained by the tank and my fishes are also not able to awim properly but it made my water surrounded by the tank clear so is it any way to reduce its force i close to it because it has spongue filtering system
Change it, you do not want your fish to get trapped on the water intake coming down in the cistern. You will stress your fish out to much also. They need to be able to swim. A small current in the reservoir is good, but what you are describing is way to much.
I would say your filter is far too powerful for your cistern. This will keep your fish under undue stress which will invariably cause them diseases and more than probable shorten their life. If you are impressed with the filter maybe you should put a smaller one on for the powerfully being of the fish, and use a canister filter for keeping the water clean, a moment ago a thought.
No. The situation that you describe is not good.
Also, fish that aren't competent to swim properly are fish that are under stress. Fish that are under stress are fish that will stay sick if they don't newly plain die.
ACCORDING TO ME THIS MUST BE A POWER FILTER,AND THESE FILTERS ARE DESIGNED TO CLEAN GREATER THAN 3FT TANKS,SO ACCORDING TO ME IT WILL PROVE HARMFUL FOR YOUR FISHES,AS YOU HAVE A 20 GALLON TANK A LESS POWERED FILTER WILL WORK FINE
SPONGE FILTERING IS A BOON BUT FISHES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FILTER !
Answers: Can't see anything in the pictures to propose you actually can regulate output, but there might be some form of collar on top of the canister that restricts the flow of hose.
Failing that it isn't too big for a 20 gallon if it has an upper limit of 30, so try repositioning it. Place it within the far left corner and aim the output at the near right. Water then have to travel the maximum distance diagonal across the tank, which should reduce its force.
