i hate to start with this question but what kind of plec are you getting, and is it going into the 102?
also will you be feeding the plec its own food or just expecting it to eat leftovers?
 
its a rubber lip pleco and depending on the size i might just put it in my 55 for now and i feed them there own food

rubberlips like colder water rather than warmer, so that should help you... they prefer it under 77*F i believe.
check this thread out to get some ideas if youre not into the really common small fish.

if you still dont have ideas... i might.
 
what do you got for ideas
 
well... you should keep the rubberlip in there i think. here:

1) basically, TONS of white clouds. like, 20+. and a powerhead somewhere in the tank, with some rounded rocks on the bottom or some wood. also, add some anubias to rocks or wood.
2) same setup as above with 15 or so zebra danios
3) again same setup with 10 giant danios.

youve got the 55 and 102 so why not use the 30 as a simple 2-species setup?
 
i was thinking a few africans maybe but i like your idea as well
 
Rubberlip pleco will be fine in water 80 degrees. I have one in my 65 that is 80 and he has been there for 4 years and is in perfect condition. Why not put a few brown acaras in that tank?

a FH can't go in a 30 and he have to just have the FH in the 55 by it self. :nilly:
