30 gallon

Hello! I've recently purchased my third tank, a 30 gallon, and I'd love to set it up as saltwater. (My other two are freshwater.) I've been digging through the research, but I'd really appreciate some outside perspective and advice. My biggest hurdle, right now, is deciding on water. I've seen...

Hello all! I'm looking for some ideas on finishing off stocking my peaceful small reef. Display dimensions are 24"x18"x18". 30 lbs live rock in display, sump with 10 gallon total water volume, refugium and a Reef Octpous Classic 150 skimmer, medium flow and subdued lighting. The tank itself is...

I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine? Any experiences/suggestions? I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank. If this could work...

I’m looking to add more fish to my tank, I have a 32 gallon bio cube with 2 clownfish and a fire shrimp. This is my first tank but I’m really on top of everything so I think I can handle some more advanced fish.

Looking for some ideas!! I have a 30 gallon reef aquarium that crashed a few months ago, lost everything except 2 clowns that I have since moved to another tank. The tank is much better and I am now considering stocking it again, but I want to do a species specific tank. Any Suggestions??

So I just wanted to tell you a little about my addiction to the hobby! I guess this story starts a year before my first aquarium came home. My uncle has a 180 Gallon Reef Aquarium, one of the coolest aquariums I have ever seen. One day I was visiting them (They live 12 hours from me) and they...

So I guess I’ll start a thread for this tank because I’m pretty happy with it so far. Took a job about 6 months ago working for an aquarium maintenance company and it reignited my passion for the hobby. I’ve had this 30 gallon running for a Year and a half with just a pair of clowns and some...

hi! i recently got a 30 gallon tank. While i was leak testing it, i noticed a leak, so i am now going to drain remove the current outer layer of silicone and re seal it from the inside. i did noticed the cause of the leak was a big bubble in the seam. can this cause issues in the fueture or...

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking at my reefs stock and trying to find the general “rule” for stocking reef tanks. For context I have a 164L 36 gallon tank with a sump, skimmer, live rock, refugium and it is 2 years old, i’m still slightly newer to corals so it’s a whole new ballpark! i’m...

hi. i have a 30 gallon tank( and a 7 gallon sump which i plan to upgrade to a 20 gallon) with a pair of clowns and 1 goby. i wanted to add more fish and i was thinking i would add either bangdai cardinals or green chromis. how many of each would be nice for this tank without overstocking or...

Hi, I was have a 30 gallon set up. With a six line wrasse and a canary blenny. I really have my heart set on a dragonet but don’t wanna make that purchase if they don’t get along. Would they be peaceful if I add one? Thanks In advance!

I am downsizing from my 90g to a 30 gallon IM AIO. I would like to keep my fish Anyone see an issue with 2 clowns, banghai cardinal, wheeler goby, bicolor blenny, fire fish in a 30? The only one I question is my engineer goby that is probably 4 inches. Do you think its possible to keep...

Hi. I am looking for a 30 gallon (or similar size) with a stand, sump, skimmer, etc. Preferably, I would like a tank that I won't need much more of a purchase other than sand, rocks, and livestock.

So I recently added a Maximus clam to my 30g reef tank and it is adapting great but every night and sometimes in the mornings it will have a bristle worm or two on the shell, I've been removing them with tweezers but I know that this is not sustainable. I always wanted to get a clam so removing...

Sup guys! Long story short Ive been part of the forums for awhile but I tend to just browse other threads when I have a question. Here's a condensed tour of my first reef that Ive had running about nine months. Over all I'd call it a massive learning experience and tons of fun! Ill start this...

Hi! I recently posted a thread similar to this one, asking about which powerheads I should use for my aquarium as my current one is not adequate. I am shifting right now from an LPS mainly reef to a mixed reef with some SPS (acros and montis). I have little SPS right now because I am trying...

Hi all:) Just going the through the list of "what to buy" for my new 30g. Filters: well, my tank came with one but looks ancient. I am curious what you all would recommend as a good one that not too pricey and works well for a few torch corals and clownfish. Also something that isn't too loud...
