Just trying to fish for a few ideas...

If you had a spare 30 gallon, what would you stock in it? It is the 30gL not the 30g cube.

I would do a planted tank with a pair of convicts OR...
a rockworked rank with a trio of electric yellow labs OR...
a planted tank with a pair of angels OR...
a shelldweller tank with some multis.

i would plant it with a nice, bushy grass and have 2-3 pair of rams in if.

I would sell it and buy a 90g. :D

Or, I would do a styro rock backround, dark sandy substrate (possibly mixed with eco-complete), planted with a tall grassy plant... that would look cool. I have no idea what fish I would put in it, but that would look cool.

I'd put something in it, not sure what.

Right now I have a kribensis itch, so I would probably scratch it.

i would take a 2 inch tall by however long needed and i would make a curved divider for the bottom of the tank and fill the back half with eco complete and the front with black sand. then i would plant the back with wisteria and do the front part of the eco complete in a combo of glosso and java moss and in 2 of the front spost i would do 2 java fern lace plants id have to make a diagram for you guys to fully understand what i mean but it would look cool to me.

in the frint sand i would make a small cave out of slate and other rock

as for fish i would do a few pepper cories and few ottos and 2 blue geo rams.

im sure you woere looking for somethign a little more general and your probably wondering how i came up with something that specific in a short amount of time.

lol ive been planning a 29g for a few months now . just waiting to get it till after i get my 55g

Great idea jadefoodog. I would have never thought about that. What would you use as a divider?

thin plexi glass

2" x however long the curve requires

Not sure... Probably divide it up for bettas. Am kind of interested in trying my luck with them at the moment. ^_^
Or sell and get three 10 gallons. B)

for the price of a 30g you could get like 8-10 10g tanks

I've never looked at the prices of tanks any smaller than my ~50gallon. So I'm not really up to scratch with prices.

i would probably make a mini version of my dam in my backyard with guppies, gudgeons, plants and insects but i am guessing this isn't for you unless you want to come over to my house :P

I would build a Paludarium and put some Firebelly Toads in it.

In a 30g I'd breed convicts or blue/port acara (allready do :lol:).

If I was starting a new one today I'd probally go with a pair of meeki (fm's) and perhaps have a go at some real plants. Or possibly have a go at a small tang set-up with leluipi or brichardi.

I would use it as a liverock tank with some clown fish in there (small ones)

I would make a reef tank out of it, with a few hermit crabs, perhaps a couple of fish (don't know what kind), and some other oddballs (don't know what kind).

I second the tang. idea. Rockwork, java fern and leleupi.

Hmm. Have always thought about doing something like that. A whole eco-system if you will.

Great ideas btw. You guys have certainly got my imagination rolling.

I got my 29(?) gallon for $5. :P

I got a 49gal (metric tank), stand, hood, light, aquaclear 500, heater, massive ceramic log and Oscar for $0 friday night B) B) B).

not a bad price i think you overpayed a bit though

be glad i cant find you or i would destroy you for such teasing

LOL. Was a freind of a freind who needed to get rid of the whole set-up urgently :D :D .

lucky

wow that's cool. :)

49g tank - zero dollars
stand for tank - zero dollars
hood, heater, filter, and all other accessories - zero dollars

Taking advantage of a friend who needs to get rid of their tank - priceless!

:D :lol: :D

that joke has already been used two times on this site lol

hah...very funny... :immature:
