    Nano stocking

    Hello, I’m looking to stock my Fluval evo 13.5. I saw someone on here that stocked theirs with a pair of ocellaris, a yasha shrimp goby, and a six line wrasse. I’m suprised how many fish they have in the tank since I see most people saying the maximum would be a pair of clowns. Can I stock mine...

    Fluval evo stocking

    Hello, I’m looking to add fish into my Fluval evo 13.5 gallon. I’m 100% set on clownfish but I’m unsure if the tank would be too small for what I want. My favorite pick would be a maroon clownfish; can I have a single maroon clownfish in this tank or should I stick to one or two ocellaris?

    First Reef Tank - Options/Advice

    Hello again R2R! I am enthusiastically planning my first tank. I’ve tried my best to go used but have had too many setbacks and am settling on going new. I added my current ideas to the poll. It should be noted that for the 40/75 I would be using HOB equipment for a while to start. Im trying...

    Sicce not-so-silent !! Fluval return pump upgrade?

    Forums are great to share opinions so I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with sicce ‘silent’ pumps in the UK. The first 1.0 I bought online rattled like crazy. I know vibrations can stress fish so not being keen on this I bought another 1.0 from my LFS. Same problem. Presumed...

    Show me your fluval EVO 13.5 setup

    I haven't been a member for long, but been seeing many posts of people doing an evo 13.5 build either as a side project or their first reef tank. I have had this tank in the past and tried to do a mixed reef, but it didnt work out the way I hoped. So I was wondering how other reefers set it up...

    Fluval SPEC (not evo-freshwater version) filter conversion

    so I’ve had this tank over a year. Always struggled keeping coral and maintaining water quality. it’s only 60L and exactly the same as the Fluval Evo except slightly taller + a filter grid at bottom (see pic) I’ve noticed a surface biofilm problem despite good agitation, and my filter floss on...

    Lighting for ACANS w/photos

    Really quick question- are these frags too high (ignore GSP) ? Ai Prime is set as shown below (Fluval Evo tank) . Never kept Acans before, I understand they prefer lower light. I am not in possession of a PAR reader and to be completely honest I am struggling to tell if this acan is happy or...

    Removing rock and saving critters

    Hi, yet another relatively new Eco 13.5 owner here. The tank has been running for over a month with 15lb of KP Aquatics "wet rock". I probably should have chosen their 10lb option as I wanted a relatively open aqua scape, but decided to use it all since I didn't want to waste what I'd paid for...

    Fluval evo 13.5 gallon

    Hello guys I’ve a few questions on the evo for 13.5 gallon, so it’s listed as being 22x15 but that’s for the tank itself in the photos I see it has some sort of stand/base that it sits on does anyone have information on what the dimensions on that is? As well does anyone have any experience with...

    Sons fish turned into my new hobby

    I’m very new to this only ever had a beta fish. My son wanted a clown fish for his 7th birthday and didn’t know how hard it would be to maintain not just the fish but the tank and what he can add to the tank. Bought him a Evo 13.5 with some live rocks and said why not go all in. I started...

    Unusual upgrades on a fluval evo 13.5

    Hey! So I got into saltwater a little over a month ago and I got the fluval evo. I love the size and look of the tank and it’s the perfect size for me as it fits on my nightstand. As I did more and more research I learned it’s much easier to have a higher water volume so I considered adding a...

    So I have a crazy idea

    So I just got my first reef tank and it’s a fluval evo 13.5. I love the size as it fits perfectly on my nightstand and I get to fall asleep every night looking at a coral reef which imo is heaven. I’ve heard many people say that these nano tanks can be tricky as they can change water parameters...

    I 3D Printed a Fluval Evo port cover!

    Yesterday I got this little guy. I already had something covering the feeding port from when I got my hi-fin banded goby, but it didn't look very nice. I had more magnets holding it down before, but I had to borrow some to do my 3D print. I designed a new port cover using 3D modelling...

    Clownfish Jumping from my Fluval Evo

    Has anyone else with a Fluval Evo had a problem with clownfish jumping out? I lost one last night, and this is the second time a clownfish has jumped out in the ~5 years I've had the tank. I guess I should cover the little opening in the front. Does anyone have good ideas for what to use to...
