Setting up 30 gallon

[clownfish.reef]

I need suggestions on equipment such as powerhead, lighting, and filtration

Two of the most popular powerhead brands are Vortech and Tunze. As far as lighting you can go a cheaper route, such as Chinese black box leds; or go the expensive route with kessils, radions, giesmann etc.

MP10 + Kessil A360 + Smart ATO micro + controller, if you dont have budget restriction
Koralia 400 + AI Prime (or nano box+bluefish ) if you want to go for something bit less expensive.

Tunze 6015 power head. these things move a ton of water for its size.
AI Prime LED light
what type of 30G are you planning? sump? or sumpless?

If you are on a budget I strongly suggest GalaxyHydro 55x3 for lighting. Got mine new for $80 and has grown everything I put under it!

I was planning on adding a sump eventually. I just added one to my 90 gallon, and I am loving it! So I definitely plan on it!

For lighting I have two Kessil A160WE's on my 90 gallon and I was thinking about upgrading those to the A360's and putting the A160's on the 30 Gallon. Would you recommend that I just sell those and put A360's on both tanks?

Perfect! Thank you!

Just in case you are curious I have montipora, anemones, gorgonians, zoanthids, acropora, ricordeas, spongeodes, star polyps, etc under it. They are all growing well except for one monti which I accidentally bleached

Perfect! So these lights can take care of SPS corals too! I will probably end up going this route!

While they lack the control of Kessils or AI lights, they have a lot of power. The only way to control them is two knobs, one for blue and one for the whites, reds, greens and violets.
