We used 30 gal trash bags too, but had to use 6 -8 clamps around the top edge to hold bags on.

I agree. If you use the 13 gallon, I believe it would not fit the mouth of the trash can. I haven't tried it but that's I figured. 30 gallon bags at least give you more room to tie the bag once its full.

I would go with the 300 for that application. I have the 300 for my 60gal and it works great.

Consider looking at the Fluval 106 which is good for tanks up to 25 gallons.

To be honest, I Loved mine! I have since upgraded to a aqueon filter for my 75 gallon and is excellent as well! I swear by their filters. Bit don't ever buy their led bubble strips! They are all junk! :)

You would need to do some research as I am not sure. My pool is only 10,000 gallons. There is probably some formula for how big of a DE filter is needed for a 30,000 gallon pool.

I Use Chemi-Pure Elite 11.74 OZ. in all my aquariums, one in my 30 gallon, two in my 65 gal, two in my 75 gal and my six in my 180 gal. You only need one per thirty gallons. it should last about six months. I rinse them once a month, use aquarium water, not tap water, it has chlorine in it and will kill the beneficial anaerobic bacteria. Good Luck!

We use a 55 gallon but it hangs over the sides. For a better fit I would guess a 30 gallon size would better fit

Personally I have an extra pump for my color changing bubbles. I have a 75 gal fresh water tank. Although your tank is smaller you would want the bubbles to e strong and you wouldn't want to take away from the filtering capabilities of the 30 gallon pump. I'm sure you will enjoy the bubbles. I know my fish do.

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.

Twin 30 or 40 gal tanks with an automatic change-over regulator would be a pretty good working arrangement. Keep in mind, the bigger the tanks the heavier they are when you take them in to get filled. ;-)

I have a 75 gallon and run an eheim 2217 which is very large. I know a lot of folks will run two 2217 filters in a 75 or 90 gallon if they are heavily stocked. Eheims have great reputation if you search some of the forums from the hobby specific sites. I decided to not run the pro3 series because the classic 2217 can fit so much more biomedia for big tanks. I left the pro3 for my smaller 45 gallon tank. Check it out yourself and compare the flow rate and capacity before you choose the model.

I ran mine in a 20 long and it worked fine for me. I have torch , acans , blastomusa , zoanthids , brain favia , leptastrea , daisy polyp corals with plenty of flow for them. I switched to a 30 gallon and I need 2 for that tank.

On the front of the box it says it is good up to 30 gallons. I have a 20 gallon tank myself but I use the next one larger and it does a great job.

I am using the 406 on my 60 gallon tank. Prior to that I had a 55 gallon that I was using the 406 on. I like it better than the 306. Some may say is a little overkill but that's how I like it.

I think that the Brita filters I used to buy said 30 gallons. I change mine when it seems to run slow.

I have always tried to go a little more then their recommendations. So in your case i would do 3oz per gallon to err on the side of more is better. I have been told that I overdo it some times, but hey it works and I havn't hurt anyone yet so...

A 200 should do fine for a 50 gallon. I run a 150 in my 30 and it has no problems maintaining the temp at all.
