    Yes, suitable.

    What is the flow rate of your filter? The current in a planted tank should not be too strong. If it is, you can still use the filter, but you have to find a way to reduce the current. I leave it the other forumers to advise on that.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
