Ive got a stock light running on my fluval sea evo 13.5 which has been running for 9 months, can I keep a Lobophyllia coral in my tank and where would be best to place it. Looking online lobos can have par of 50-150 so it could work on sand-bed

Hi there,
I’m thinking of purchasing the Fluval Evo 13.5 to get back in the reef game - my LFS has it on sale so thinking why not.
As it’s a small tank, I’m thinking to get the skimmer that’s made for that tank. But I want to find a way to use a filter sock in there. Is this possible or does the...
Hey everyone! Just want peoples opinion and input on my future tank build. I have debating between these two tanks for a couple weeks now and have no idea which one I should go with. I just took down an Innovative Marine 25 Lagoon due to me moving, and I can’t say enough good things about their...
Hi 👋
Completely new here and new to fish! I have a standard Fluval Sea 13.5g with no modifications (yet!) Bought this “rock” from my LFS which had been in their sump for 4/5months. With Caribsea Fuji pink live sand. All I’ve got in there at the moment are some tiny shrimp-type creatures and a...
Hi,
After much much deliberation me and husband have taken the plunge and decided to give marine a go. We have only had tropical tanks before, and reptiles. Much like reptiles I appreciate there’s lots of ways people like to keep them and many differing opinions.
We are starting small with a...
I was going to get my daughter a small freshwater tank for her to look at and help me with, but persuaded myself into buying the fluval 13.5 and going for saltwater! Little did I know at the time that buying the tank would be the smallest expense of the hobby! Follow this thread and see what I...
Hello! Thank you for this site!
I am returning to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. My daughter who is 4 now, asked for 2 clown fish for Christmas. My first feeling was dread of caring for a saltwater tank.
Well that quickly changed when we started visiting some of my old favorite Marine...
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to start sharing a tank im working on! This will be my first saltwater tank and of course me being me I had to choose an interesting but difficult animal, dwarf seahorses. I have done all my research and have experience caring for complicated animals! Currently the...
Hello everyone! Recently I setup a fluval evo 13.5 gallon! I decided I want to keep seahorses and have done all research necessary to keep them. From what I have seen it is wayyy to small for larger species but may be to big for dwarf seahorses. I wanted to ask for some extra input. I've read...
Hi everybody I’m new to the hobby and decided to start with the fluval Evo 13.5, not because of the prices I decided to go with it since an don’t have much space for a bigger aquarium which by the way is the the cycling process! Anyway I’m planning on have some clowns and other fish which I...
Hi all I’ve recently added a extra pack off bio max in with the existing as instructed from my lfs I also added activated carbon back into the tank after taking a break from using it I rinse down everything before putting it into the filter media but since then it has caused a cloudiness in my...
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been active here. Life got a little crazy there for a while and sadly my tank got neglected.
I’m back and trying to get things taken care of but my poor little tank has a severe aiptasia problem. Like every surface is covered in the stuff!
My 2...
Hi, I have a Fluval evo 13.5 I set it up last march. I had damsels and it was doing fine but the entire tank turned brown. I tried everything but couldn’t get the tank fixed. Forward to December now, and all the fish died and now I have 1 nassarius snail and no fish. After the last fish died the...
Hello! Finally got most of my gear so I can start cycling the tank, and was eager to get feedback on my scape.
So, this will be a classic clown tank for my 4 year old to enjoy, we're going to eventually add either a firefish or a goby-pistol pair, whatever she prefers. We're also gonna go wild...

I currently have my eshopps nano skimmer in the left rear corner of my fluval evo 13.5g, and in the past it has been collecting gunk but I haven’t had to clean it out for a while now. I’m wondering if it is actually picking anything up now that I have a wavemaker flowing towards the opposite end...
