fluval 13.5

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a better solution for flow in my fluval. I had been using the Jebao SLW-5 but it is too loud and takes up too much space in my tank. I am a beginner so I'd like some opinions on how far this pump could take me in my Fluval 13.5. My goal is mostly LPS/soft coral and...

I got a fluval protein skimmer that fits right in the back of my 13.5 galloon fluval tank. I watched installation/unboxing videos and did it just as they did. But I'm having lots of issues. Water floods in the overflow box quickly right when I plug in. Water control valve doesn't seem to be...

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...

Hello all, It's been many years since I had a reef tank. Took it down in 2017 when a family member got sick and work was super crazy. I was sad to see it go but a relief it has been. Feels like a ton has changed in reefing since then. New lights, new automations, new ATO's, new Pumps, new wave...

This is my first reef tank and I have just began my cycle. The setup is fully stock but I plan on getting a i tank filter basket, and a power head in the near future. Do any other evo owners have stocking recommendations for my set up. Preferably beginner level fish and I am steering clear of...

Hello all I’ve posted here many times and have learned a whole collection of things having been informed on how to stock the tank, setup my skimmer and all hosts of things now I’m here with a question about setting a sump/refugium but for a nano tank! Ive got a fluval evo which is 13.5 gallons...

Slow day at work so I figured I would finally write up a build thread to document and show my progress. I started back in March this year when someone gifted me an Evo 13.5 boy what a rabbit hole I have fallen down since then. I have taken care of freshwater fish in the past, but marine is...

Hello all. I’m new to this hobby and believe me I’m in love. But being new I’m still trying to grasp the ropes. Definitely a learning process. I have a Fluval Evo tank. I’ve had this tank with fish in it for 2 months now. I’ve been struggling with this hideous algea red and green. On my rocks...

I currently have a Fluval Evo 13.5 tank that will eventually be made into a reef tank and needed some help stocking it. At the moment my stocking list is : 1 wheeler shrimp goby possibly with a pistol shrimp pair 1 bumble bee shrimp 1 firefish goby 1-2 clownfish 2 Nassarius Snail 2 Astraea...

So i started my fluval around 4 months ago and after reading on here i did everything a little wrong lol but were managing. Its got a few upgrades to it though. I definitely had to evolve quickly.

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...

Hey guys! New to this so take it easy on me LOL. I just added two clownfish to my tank after a first cycle with a few hermit crabs and a clown (sadly the clown did not make it, terrible recommendation from the local Petco, will admit I did not do my due diligence beforehand, definitely shouldn’t...

Hi all, I am trying to replace the stock nozzle on the fluval evo13.5. have attached a 1/2" rfg nozzle but it is very loose/wobbly? Have I attached it correctly?

Hi All, I have just upgraded to the Ai Prime 16HD with my fluval evo 13.5. I am using the David Saxby Lighting schedule and have set the acclimation to start at 35% and ramp up for 60 days. Is this suitable or should i make some changes. Light is 8" from surface and corals are with mainly...

Hi everyone! I am very new to this hobby. I’ve kept freshwater for years. I currently have 9 freshwater tanks. I’m now 4 months in on my first reef tank. Successfully navigated the ugly phase and have some (8) frags so far. Nothing to write home about. The light on the Evo 13.5 died… the...

Hello Reefers! Yet another Fluval Evo build here for all of you! I got into this hobby just over a year ago during a long lockdown YouTube session where I somehow ended up in the saltwater recommended videos. After watching for hours I was hooked and wanted to gather as much information as...

Hello everyone! Just wanting to introduce myself here, my name is Reichel (Rachel) and I setup my first reef tank (fluval evo 13.5) in Sept. 2021, now I have a clown fish, an orchid dottyback, an emerald crab and a nassarius snail! I have a cabbage leather coral and two green striped mushroom...

Greetings ... I'd like to update the lighting on my Fluval EVO 13.5 as the stock like is not adjustable and does not provide great growth for corals. I'm aware that a hang over light such as an AI Prime would be optimal but I'm trying to retain the factory hood for the slim look, don't want the...

I was just wondering what kind of schedule people are running on their Fluval Evo 13.5 with the stock lighting. I’m going to upgrade eventually but for now I’m gonna keep the stock lights. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

Hi .... built my Evo 13.5 with a SICCE Syncra Silent 0.5 return pump. I've been told that a wavemaker / powerhead is needed to maintain good flow in the tank. Im seeing that food settles on the substrate after 30-40 sec but that could be move of my placement of the two return outlets. (1)...

Hey everyone this is my first saltwater tank/reef!! I’ve been learning a lot along the way and Im very happy with my progress. I started out with the Fluval 13.5G Evo Saltwater kit that I got on-sale at the local fish store. I started out with a pair of clown fish and some starter coral to test...
