hello, does anyone know if this is too powerful of a filter to be in a 30 gallon cube? will it make a very strong current?? i just want to do a nice planted tank with small barbs n such. thanks!:banher:

The cool thing is, you can tone down the flow of the output to whatever you want with the filter, so if you notice your fish having a tough time, you make the necessary adjustments.
I have an XP2 on a 46 BF. It's a great filter but it does put out a strong currenct. At first I didn't use the spraybar, just pointed the nozzle forward and down about 20 degrees. It was too much for my swords so I attached the spraybar and now it's working great. The aquarium is 36" wide. Yours won't be that wide, so the current may be a problem.
Good luck

You can always point the spray bar backwards towards the back of the tank. I have an XP2 on a 20G & a 29G. Ignore me, I like fish and therefore overfilter a tad. 
i have an xp3 on a 36g corner bowfront, it works great so I assume an xp2 on a 30g cube would be just fine. I aim my spraybar to deflect off driftwood to calm down the flow.
