how many GPH does a filter need to filter for a 30 gallon tank??

and how many watts should a heater be for a 30 g tank???


Thanks:)

Not Sure About The Heater.
But Ive Heard The Ideal Filtration For A 30 Gallon Tank Is About 300GPH.

you might be able to get away with using a 100 watt heater but, you should probably get one that is a step up. that way it doesnt have to work quite as hard to keep the temp stable.

wichever you choose, i would suggest that you not spare a dime. make sure that it reads, "fully submersible". ive bought a few of the low end ones and each one died on me within a month or two. one even had a sizeable crack in it and was letting water slowly seep in. im glad i caught it in time, ive heard that they can electrocute your fish (and you).

well i phoned big als and got a great deal.. an empty glass tank with canopy costs $130...im like naww thats too much... so i asked for the complete 30 g kit...it costs $179!!! im like wow... cuz it includes a filter, heater, ornaments, meds, booklets, extra media, food and airstones!!! and all those things seperatley cost a fortune!!!!!

SO...now my comet and 2 snails are gunna love their new 30 g tank... just goes to show... big als prices really well lol...

im so excited for my new tank:D:D

by the way.. on aqua clear filters they give u the option to make the filter strong or weaker... like + or -.. which ooption is best??? right now i have it on low (-)...

oh ya and what would u say is the best way (liek brand and size of thing) to make water circulate... cuz i only have 1 airstone in the tank and i dont think its making my water circulate all the much...

I would run the AquaClear on full or the +

Goldies cope well with current and it will keep things circulating

Congrats on your new tank Hamsta!!!! You'll have to post some pics when you get it up and running!!!
