Hey all, my 30 gallon tank is almost finished cycling, have me a clown and yellow belly damsel that are helping out and it's time to get my protein skimmer and power heads.
I plan on doing softies and LPS for now and definitely need more flow.
Right now I have an aquaclear 70 (100-300gph) and so I'm debating getting 2 maxi-jet 900's Orr maybe 1 maxi jet and adding another aquaclear 50 or 70.
The skimmer I'm planning on getting is a Reef Octopus bh-1000. Unfortunately I don't have the room to sump but I'm fine with water changing.
Anyways, 2 mj900's orrr the aquaclear 70 and one mj? I just don't want to stress out my fish, the tank is 36Lx12.5Wx17H
Thanks in advance!! :)

Got a great deal on a Sicce voyager 1 and went with that! It produces a ton of current for a 30 gallon and looks quite nice

Hey Mike,
I have the BH 1000 and love it. The models have changed a bit over the years, but it should do very well in a 30g.
As for your flow. I was not familiar with the PH you mentioned, but I looked it up and it looks kinda cool. It should do just fine. You may need to add a second PH down the line depending on what you have in the tank. If you have a lot of rock work you will have to add a second to make sure you don't have any dead spots (of flow).
Post up a couple of pics of the new tank.

Thanks for the reply! Im thinking about getting a low power MaxiJet to place lower in the tank after the Voyager 1. It's on its way now and my BH-1000 is ordered as well :)
