For my 29g tank. It is confusing....do I get the 30 since I have a 29g tank (it says "up to 30g") or the 50 (which says "up to 40")?

I was at Petsmart today and ended up getting the Aquaclear 30. I just set it up and I really like it! It was 34.99 at Petsmart so I basically saved a few bucks of shipping.
Well, you can, but it's hard. I had some plans to put in a sump go awry, with a massivly overpowered pump. I think I had something like 12x turnover. I'd sized the pump with eventual upgrade to SW in mind, but didn't have a spray bar or any other distributor on the return.Remember you can never overfilter
If you're running a small bioload, I wouldn't rush out to swap the filter right away. The filter is supporting fish, not the tank. Conversely, if you're pushing the stocking limits, you should certianly overfilter.
Or you could do 1 sponge, the bag of ceramic rings, and some polyfiber.Also, no need to use the carbon insert (unless you need to remove medication i.e. from the water). Go for 2 sponges and 1 BioMax insert.
That or just get another AC30. Then run both of them on the tank. If one ever fails then you have the second to keep your tank going. I had this happen whyle on vacation and lost a $300 Jet Black Rhom. Thats why i now have a 5" Diamond Rhom since i cant afford another Jet Black one.yeah...I think I will order my new aquaclear 50 from Drs. Foster and Smith like I had originally planned. This 30 can easily support the fish I have in here until that gets here!
Two 30's on my 29g wouldn't be too much? So far, all I have in the tank are 5 lamp eye tetras, 6 albino cories, and one rubberlip pleco (2.5" right now).That or just get another AC30.
