    How long in a 30 Gal long aquarium. I cannot figure it out. I need to know so i can price it out. I cannot use my 20 gallon because the sealent is coming all off on the inside of the corners. Very Unfortunate..I know. I am not having to reprice everything.. thank goodness i didnt order everything already..

    I need a new fish tank not sure what size i am looking for.. something pretty big but not too big. Any suggestions?

    I AM TOTALLY LOST AND CONFUSED OF WHAT TO DO!?!?!?!

    depends. I think a 30 gal is 36 inches long. and pretty deep considering its a breeder tank. Depends on your lights. i would do 4 t5s over there. or two 150 watt halides.

    you could easily just use a canister. and the t5s would be 39 watts each ;)

    Here is a link with some common sizes so you can figure out what will fit. Don't know anything about the site but you can at least use it for reference.

    depends. it can be done without, but if you keep your fish population low, you should be okay.
