Haha thanks! Ya we tried to pick relativly cheap fish....but i doubt thats going to happen!! Haha will buy the aquaclear 70 filter and the two powerheads today! (idk how to spell the name of the powerheads ;) ) anyways that will be pretty much all of our money, but then we will hae all of the equipment!
 
Okay thanks! I will look for the link on amazon! Do you think these would be good for my 30, or would i need a better
Filter?
 
I would stick to the evolution ones if it were me. Plus you can get more gph from one, like the 750. :)

I only ran an AC50 on my 29g and it was fine for me, so an ac 70 will for sure be enough.
 
Two is generally a good idea in order to create a chaotic flow. It can be achieved with one large PH or two smaller ones. I have two 750's in my 54 gallon, and Carey used two in her 29.

Realistically, this would be more than enough. In a 30 gallon, you could easily be good with two of the koralia evo 550's.

30 gal x 30 turnover = 900gph. You would have that with the 550's.
 
Yes its a 30. We will get 2. For the filter, though, what do i use in it?? Carbon?
 
I have the foam pad that comes with the aquaclear filters, a bag iof chemi pure elite which is carbon and gfo pretty much, and phosguard in a media bag for the phosphates. GFO is granular feric oxide and helps rid the tank of phosphates. :) The chemipure elite is a substitution for carbon. I used to have the biomedia rings but now that the tank is established I tossed them and am relying on my live rock for bacteria.

Is that any better? LOL I tried.....
 
Ah yes, better. So basically all of this stuff goes into the filter pad? Like justbpour it in? Were could i buy this?
