30 Gallon Tank

etprime · 05/20/2014, 08:22 AM

SO, i have a 30 gallon saltwater tank for about 60 days. been dropping a tiny bit of food every week or so for bacteria, and have a little live rock in there.

I've been debating on what to do with it. Right now just has an airstone, rinky dink hang on back cartridge filter, and basic light/hood. was thinking about putting some fish in it in the next two weeks

I already have another 75g tank set up nicely, just want to put this little tank to work.

obviously would not put more than 2 fish in there, was thinking maybe 2 clowns?

I am posting because id like to get some suggestions on equipment on something that small. and opinions on a tank that small. waste of time?

That all depends on what you want to do with the tank. Rock and/or coral or just fish.

Have you tested the water? Is it ready for fish?

Get some quality rock. Powerheads. Sand.

Picked up some live black argonite reef rand and a Marinle land 60Mw 24" - 36" LED light

I guess my biggest question is filtration.
