to circulate the water look at powerheads, if it is in ur budget look at koralias i think they are called.. they cost a little more but are well worth it..
if it is a 30 i would say 2 would give u good flow. just one on each side. as for size im not to sure. maybe a size 3 and a 2? or 2x size 3..
I wouldn't go with the Koralia 3's at all. Maybe two 1's, or a 2 and a 1, or a 2 and a nano. I have two Koralia 2's in my 38 gallon and there is a lot of flow! I have a hard time finding a place to put corals that do not want very high flow. And, without the snail guard, they shoot out in every direction, which is good but can be a pain in the rear if they push too much water.

haha maybe your right now that i think about it..
in my tank its a lot larger than a 30 so i dont notice it as much
although u could have one point at the surface,and one across the font
this tnk is a standard 30 i assume? not a 30 long correct?
