Will one bag be enough for a 30 gallon tank?

Doubtful but go to the Flourite website, whatever it is. They have a calculator there. Just enter your tank dimensions and (I think) your desired depth and it'll tell you how many bags you need.

One bag is enough for about a one inch layer of in a 30 gallon tank. So no, not really; you'll want at least a 2" substrate for plants to be happy, and that's why you're planning on buying Flourite, isn't it? I used one bag of this and two 12 lb bags of Carib Sea Flora Max in my 30 gal. Plant growth is great. I do use additional fertilizers, though.

I would say no; I ended up purchasing another bag. If you plan on having plants, you'll need more flourite to mound around them. My tank is 20 gallons and I needed two, so at least two for sure!

I don't think so. Mine is very sturdy and holds 33 and 39 gallon plastic bags very securely.

They have their own custom bags which are the best fit. You can use a 13 gallon or higher though.

Not that I know of, I use a 30gal. Contractor plastic bag, by folding the top over the rim of the stand, then setting the system down on top of the stand and bag. Works very well. Dump the bag in the trash can, use the bag over and over.

Need enough for a class of 25 3rd grader's, would 1 bag be enough. Giving each about a 3 inch piece?

It should be fine for a 30g tank. You know the length of it so you can imagine how it would fit in your particular tank. One thing to remember since it isn't a stone the air comes out of puncture holes in a rubber tube. These are easily clogged but also clean easily with a little rubbing. You'll notice this if the air is only coming out of a few holes. Hope this helps.

I used one and a half bags to do a 36 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. Looks real nice!

This is a 30L bag. I can store my 15" laptop, my winter jacket, waterproof trousers, and my meal. I would say that you will probably have room enough to store what you need.

It works much better if you use a regular size 30 gal bag.. The 13 gal may be a LIL small..

Well if you are using an average 35gal storage bin...I would say it would take like 3-5 bags of these. Rough estimate though.

one 25lb bag should be plenty....make sure you rinse it well before adding it to your pond water

Its common to do a pound per gallon or 1 inch/ 1&1/2 inch. One bag will be fine.

I would think three. I have a 29 gal. tank and two bags gave me a little over two inches in depth. Watch out for sharp edged substrate as it can harm bottom cleaners like cats.

Have not used the whole bag at once to determine that. I doubt that one bag will make 1 gallon, perhaps 1/2 gallon.

yes, this unit works well enough for both of those size tanks- you wont need to run the protein skimmer as much for the 30 gallon depending on what you have going on in it. Id suggest setting it up on a timer and just have it go on ever so often to scrub the water up :)

Yes, 30 lb bag will fit. I love mine. I just dump it in. But I do mix the food left in can with the new food that I dump in...

13 gallons. Any 13 gallon bag will fit, you don't need to buy the ones they recommend.
