Will it work for a 30 gallon tank

I believe it will if you're very patient. I tried it with my 45-gallon and the rate of water transfer was just too slow. And it didn't have much suction for vacuuming either. For a 30-gallon tank, I'd probably go with something beefier.

I use it on my 20 gallon tank and it does the job. It goes slower then some, but I like that. It gives me time to clean the gravel well before I have to empty my bucket.

It is not strong. It has a small intake and tube. It takes a few minutes to fill a 5 gallon bucket. I'm probably spoiled by my faucet attached powerful gravel vaccuume though...

Yes, I use it on a 29 gal tank. It works great for cleaning and water changes.

The fill level indicators on the gauge are only calibrated for use with a standard 18-20 lb. tank. It will not work with a 30 lb. tank.

Well it will certainly work but it's overkill. a 40 gallon should only require a 100 - 150 watt model. This one is cheaper so you might as well. That way if you ever upgrade your tank you already have a larger heater.

it will work for any gallons of tank but the bigger the tank the longer it take to suck the water out. It clean the poop and left over food that fall into the gravel

Hi Tegan. Yes! This cover will work on both 20 & 30 pound tanks. Hope this helps.

No I brought a 30 gallon tank, but I guess you could use it but wont get much out of it.

sorry bought this for a 10 gallon not sure about a 36 gallon. Might call or go into your local pet shop and find out than compare prices. My local Petco is cheaper on some things then Amazon is.

i presume it depends on the size lamp you purchase. i have the 10 gallon size on my 30 gallon tank and it works wonderfully. from what i read you had 2 on yours. if so i would purchase 2 of the 10 gallon sizes ones. that is this one here. my fish love the lighting and are thriving under it. if 1 is good for my tank, 2 should be efficient for yours. i hope this helps you with your choice.

yes it will, it works just like the ones in the pet stores that cost $69.99. I does a GREAT job removing and replacing water in the tank. ps, i own a 55 gallon tank. I hope this helps you with your decision.

It would definitely work for a 15 gallon. It actually isn't too wide. I think it would work out fine and clean your tank much fast and and efficient. It good up to a 55 gallon and I actually have a 60 gallon but it does the job great! I love this product and recommend it to anyone with the proper tank size.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

It will do fine for your 30 gallon now. But this skimmer is only rated for 65 gallons max, and probably not even that. Manufacturers almost always overrate their skimmers.

Yes, this will work on a 40 gallon breeder. This is the tank that I used this one and it worked fine.

It says on the package up to 55 gallons. I have a 55 gallon and a 29 gallon and I have no problems. It will be perfect for your 40 gallon.

Thanks for your question. I think that a 55gal would be the max tank I would use it for. You would have to use it to the max adjusting but it should work fine. Good luck and have fun

Yes it will....just be careful not you use alot...but it really depends on the size of the tank and how many you have in the tank
