ok, so i just set up one of my 30s to salt. i used natures ocean live sand and instant ocean salt. i dont know what im gonna do with it so im open to suggestions. i still need to get some live rock, i plan on putting it on both ends of the tank and leaving the middle open. my levels are at 36 ppt, and 1.027 SG.

What kind of lighting do you have? How about a reef tank with a lot of inverts (shrimp, snails, crabs).
 
a nano reef would be nice..

in a smaller tank you're rather limited in the sorts of monster fish or predators you could keep
namely sharpnose puffers, dwarf lionfish, dwarf morays ($$$) or tilefish

or could go along the lines of the 'nemo' tank.. with all the familiar small fish

of course there are a butt load of other smaller fish that aren't so commonly seen and actually rather beautiful and exotic
 
Looks like a standard flourescent fixture, but it looks pretty bright...
 
lighting is an Aqua Ray, fresh and saltwater, 20W T12. its pretty bright. its actually brighter than in the pic, the lid needs to be cleaned. im kinda iffy about the reef tank, that seems like a big jump, never having a salt tank, but i want to stay away from the whole nemo style tank. but im not saying no to a reef, it just seems kinda like a big jump lol
 
Oh its a jump for sure. :) Just read, get educated, be patience, think ahead, and listen, and your tank will be okay.
 
lol, oh wow. if you have specific questions feel free to PM me them..
 
nice i just set up a 15 gal nano reef 2 months ago. now im hooked and planning a bigger 120 gallon reef.
