You should be just fine with 60.

I mean, I couldn't tell you the exact reasons for it, but just use a volume calculator. The main reason is likely because the bowl has a lot of unused space, being round, so it takes up more area than a rectangular tank. But it checks out if you just use a simple volume calculator.

What is this post? Are you selling them?

Might be on the pricey side, and not necessarily easy for you to get to, but I just saw that House of Fins has some. It’s a really nice LFS, but it’s wayyyyy overpriced. Depends how badly you want them, I guess.

I see you guys ship, but do you have a website I could order from?

Merry Christmas Juan and Cynthia!

This doesn't look like the LED version?

I only have good things to say about Salgado Aquatics. Juan and Cynthia are great, local delivery is awesome to have, and prices are reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

Don’t think it really matters. Mine are just some cheapo ones that came with airline tubing from Amazon. Really, any should work.

I was having this problem, too. Same doser. What worked for me was adding check valves. They don’t allow the liquid to flow backwards, allowing in air.

Cool. That’s definitely the right move. Just test your parameters every day or so to make sure the cycle is moving along.

Water has almost none of the beneficial bacteria in it. You want media, or rocks. I’m not really sure about dipping live rock, unfortunately. It may kill the bacteria. Sorry. Can’t hurt to try, though. Worst case you just have more rock in the new tank.

Where did you find it, and for how much, if you don’t mind my asking?

I have a 3.0 32”. Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I figured I’d throw it out there.

Yup, it’s such a bummer. I have to drive to Connecticut for any decent LFS, and they’re way overpriced.
