too hot, and your fishy suffocates.
too cold, and your fishy goes to sleep.
U don't have to worry about temperature being too cold in malaysia.

as for green water.. the algae basically takes over the role of a biofilter with other additional pros and cons.. do read up more.. maybe this link will help

30 inches is on the deep side, but it depends which breed of goldfish you intend to keep, different breed have different requirements.. do you intend to keep them with other fishes?
