I have a 30 gallon tank. I would like to know if this is too strong. If so is there one for a 30 gallon tank.

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

I have it in a 40B tank and it adds gentle water movement from back to front of tank, does not bother the smallest of fish.

No I have this in a 12 gallon fluval edge and it works great. Might need stronger for a 30gal depending on length and how strong of current you want. But works great on my small 12gal very satisfied.

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

I use mine for a 29 gallon tank. It's always better to use a filter that can handle a little more capacity than what you have, but you could probably still get by with just a C3 filter, since it handles 20 to 50 gallons.

I have a lot of coral & a salt tank. If you have a lot of rock work or reef Set up you might get stronger as I have 2 of these in a 40g! You don't want a stagnant areas so figure where you'll need to create movement thru your rocks or if just fish 2 might be enough!JM 2¢

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.

I have one set up going in my 25 gallon and tone honest I am not sure if this is enough for the size of my tank. The mixture does not last 30 days. It dies with in 15day at most. While it is running and producing bubbles every 3 seconds or so.... It gets very slow (like a bubble every 15 seconds or so by the second week). Try it out. It wouldn't hurt but it will not make a big difference in 29 gallon tank in my opinion.

I don't think it is strong enough for the big fish tank. A small on emay be ok.

The pf15 worked great for my tank absolutely loved it. It depends on what size tank you have.

I used it in a 20 gal tank for angel fish fry and it worked out just fine. Just make sure your air pump is rated for the 29 gallon and not too high. I had one that was for a sixty gallon and the air flow was too strong.

my tank is only 30 from side to side... so I think it will be to small. But I am not totally sure.

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

Hi, Mary - it is a good size for a 30 gallon tank, but I think it would be too large for a 5 gallon. It needs to sit inside the tank, so it takes up a lot of space. In my aquarium, it sits in a compartment at the back, hidden behind a sheet of black plexiglass. It I had to look at it in the tank, it would be unslightly, even in a 30 gallon aquarium, unless I could figure out a way to hide it behind live rock.

I purchased a fluval 306 for my 60gal tank & the water flow is strong. Depending on how big your next tank will be 206 is suitable up to 45gal, 306 up to 70gal, & the 406 is up to 100gal. You can always adjust the aquastop valve to regulate your water flow without harming the motor, but not sure it may still be too strong of a water flow for a 30 gallon tank. (my fluval filters values are always fully open)

No, while its rated high, its really not capable of handling tanks larger than 30 gal. If you want a skimmer that will handle both tanks, I'd go one level up on the skimmer.

You will need at least 2 for sure. I have a 30" tank and one just barely does it. If I had room for another one I would put acsecondbon the tank to get better light at the bottom.

Hey Michael,Not at all. Extremely too powerful.I bought two for my 75 gallon for flow, i setup one and immediately took it out after 30 sec., made a complete mess of my tank. These things must be made for like 200 gallon tanks.just get a good canister filter, eheim classics are the best. you'll get plenty of flow with em.good luck,-anthony
