Chief Reefer Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 IMO, its a great first tank. Thats a nice starter package. Can I ask the listing price? Did they mention any lighting? I addition to that package, you would need:ATO Heater Lighting Nice things to have: A powerhead for additional circulation - 30l is a long tank upgraded return pump IM Spinstreams. Link to comment

ATO is optional, nice to have, but optional. You can get the tank and get it up and running while you search for lighting. cycle will start without a light Link to comment
waveland Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I picked up a IM30L on Craigslist just over a month ago and love it! It came with one upgraded media basket, heater, two spinstreams and I paid $300 for it out the door. I added a Tunze 9001 protien skimmer, Tunze powerhead, Tunze ATO and for lighting went with a 36" Orbit Marine LED. I love the light and its remote features, though I don't think it's the one if you want to do hard corals. For softies I think it's perfect and I needed a light that was low profile. Great tank and really fills the space nicely! Link to comment
efish19 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Would a 40 breeder be a better option than the 30 long? Im really not committing to anything before I'm sure I have the best deal possible. Also im in an apartment that is why I was looking for something on the smaller size. Is that good or bad? But optimistically, I would like to have a sump no matter what size for more water and better looking display. Link to comment

They way I look at it, you're losing about 5 gallons in the rear chamber and 4 inches of width from the swimming space with the fusion 30L. A 40b will give you way more swimming space, scape space and so on. However you lose the back chamber to hide things like: heater ATO, sensors, probes, skimmers etc. Link to comment
