What is the average size tank this will work well with, can I use it on my 30 Gallon?

I don't recommend 30 Gallons tank. I bought this for 10 gallon tank. It was not enough.And I found a problem. Connection is weak.(from light parts to AC adaptor)

I would think its a stretch ---- the light if attached to the end of the tank, its edge would barely reach the the middle. If attached in the middle, you would have dark areas at each end. Perhaps two units would suffice.

I'd get 2 depending on how long the tank is. My tank is 5 gallons but I bought it to grow my floating plants. It's a bright lamp

Manufacturer recommends it for 5 gallon, I think it works well even for 10 gallons, but for 30 you'd need at least two lamps....

Yes. The wand and nozzle is about a foot (or more) long and should be fine for your 30 gallon tank. My tank is only about a foot deep and there's plenty of wand that never gets wet when I clean my gravel.

It's rated for 20-50 gal tanks so it should be fine on yours. Much better filtration than most I've used before and a lot easier to clean.

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

I've only used it for 20 gallon long tanks, which fit great. Check the measurements of the tank you want to get.

It will not fit in the 10 gallon tank. I got a 30 gallon tank and my turtles love the space.

I have it on top of my 2.5 gallon betta tank (just resting on top) and it is about the width of the top. So not sure how big you're looking for but that's a size comparison. 29 gallon sounds awfully big but it might work

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

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.

It will work with any size tank, but the smaller the aquarium, the more it will make the water move. I use it for power outages in aquariums down to 5g. I have not tried it with anything smaller. I think that the fish will adjust. It is better to be bumped around than to die from lack of oxygen!

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

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.

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.

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 this pump on a 30 gallon long it works well. I wish i would have bought the next size up and turned the flow down

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.

I use mine with a 1 gallon tank normally, but I have used it with my 30 pound RV tanks with no problem. I don't know what the max pressure would be. I would think the pressure would be pretty constant regardless of the tank size, but I just don't know for sure.
