depends on what you want to put in it, really.. for a normal stock with a normal bioload, should be fine.

I would use an AquaClear 50 for a 20 gallon tank. I use an AC 70 on my 29. :dance:

I would go with the 50 for sure. I use the 70 on my 20 gal. and it's awesome.

the more the better. 50 would be great but if you have a 30 it should be ok.

AC 50

if you stock right, it should be ok. if you want to fully stock the tank though, you are going to need a bigger filter or the addition of another.

Thanks for all the replies, as i am just getting into the hobbie and already have the ac 30 from previous use, about 10 years ago, ill just stay small and if i get more fish ill keep in mind that ill also have to be getting more filter.
Thanks again

I have an AC 30 on my 10 gallon, so for a 20 I'd go with the 50 or 70. Even if the fish are being stressed by the current, you can always adjust it. Remember, its always better to have too much filtration than not enough.
