My take on HOB filters is pretty much get a filter rated for double your tank size and you will have less problems. I use a Penguin 350 on my 29g and it is just right. It is "rated" for up to something like 70g. The design works great for surface agitation with very little current. The only downfall to me is the whole cartridge thing. That is one thing I like about the Aquaclear is the adaptability of media. If I was looking at an AQ for the 40 I personally would be looking to use at least the 70. But I always over filter.
