Oh, dude, 30 moons? That's like saying "how long is a piece of string?" Moons can vary in size and distance from their planet, so it's not a one-size-fits-all answer. But if you're talking about Earth's moon, it takes about 29.5 days to complete one orbit, so 30 moons would be roughly 885 days.
The moon completes an entire cycle of all of its phases in 29.53 days.
The moon takes about 29.5 days to go through a complete cycle of phases, known as a synodic month. This cycle includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
