fluval 13.5

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...

I set up an Fluval EVO 13.5 with 15 lbs dry rock and 18 lbs CaribSea Arag-Alive Live Aragonite Reef Sand. I'm using Seachem Matrix for Bio Media. I added a full bottle of Dr. Tim's Aquatics One & Only Live Nitrifying Bacteria, dosed with Dr. Tim's Aquatics Ammonium Chloride but the ammonia...

Hello all! I have a fluval Evo 13.5 AIO. My seahare decided to squeeze through the tiny hole on the AIO divider. It was alive and immediately went back to eating when i put it back in the DT (and I closed that hole again. Sneaky little seahare). But I've noticed that its shell is exposed...

Hi guys, This is my first post here :). Excited to be a part of the community. This evo is my first saltwater tank in about 10 years. I just got cycled, did a large water change and am ordering fish tomorrow! I haven't installed my skimmer yet, but I moved my m50 heater to the return chamber...

Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my Fluval 13.5 Complete Kit which includes tank, lighting, powerhead, heater, filter, protein skimmer and more. Also, I'm selling the live rock that is in the tank. I'm upgrading to a 30g tank. Images attached.

Hello all! I’m running a Fluval 13.5 with InTank media baskets 1 (filtration, carbon, and bio cubes) & 2 (mini-refugium). I have the Sicce 1.0 pump upgrade as well. with these upgrades, I’m having a terrible time keeping water levels in chambers 2 & 3. The main issue is keeping chamber 3...

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...

Hi everyone! Recently we’ve been planning to redo the flooring on the second floor of our house. This is also where I keep my Fluval Evo 13.5 that I’ve had up and running for about 9 months now. I don’t have much in it apart from the filtration system, pump, heater, sand, live rock, a pair of...

Take it easy on me…my first reef tank :) Im only two months in, and started with the standard Fluval EVO 13.5, some live sand and rock. After my cycle added some CUC and my fish (the Royal Gramma didn’t make it unfortunately). Current livestock; Darwin Clown (Fishy) Firefish Goby (Turbo)...

Hi I am new to the forum and this is my first build by myself (mostly my husband butt in a little ). So I had decided to build this tank as my husband has left the country to go to school so I wanted something that would challenge me and something that I enjoyed. I have dabbled in saltwater...

Greetings all, just wanted to jump in on the intros, and introduce my tank. Grabbed a Fluval Evo 13.5, and have replaced everything but the glass over the past 7 months. Started in February, going *well* enough considering this is my first saltwater/coral tank. 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, 1 red...

****most recent FTS**** September 22, 2022 ***End Update*** I’m starting my first tank in 6+ years and my 3rd ever reef tank. The goal with this one is to build a streamline (hence the AIO), attractive nano reef in the condo I share with my fiancée who has never been involved with a reef...

Hey all, I'm looking for one or two fish recommendations for my Fluval 13.5. Current stock is: 1 small mocha misbar clownfish 1 Hector's goby 1 peppermint shrimp 1 hermit crab various softies and LPS (eventually adding a few SPS) Whatever the fish they need to be reef-safe and preferably...

Hello, Long time lurker here. I've had freshwater tanks in the past, and helped take care of a couple reefs and salt tanks as well.Never my own though. As the title says I am setting up a Fluval Evo 13.5, and I am looking for a little advice on sand, rock, and stocking it. Below is what I...

Figured I should probably start a build thread, only about 2 months late. This tank is a Fluval evo 13.5g Current stocking list CUC Trochus Snail x1 | 6/17 Cerith Snail x11| 6/17 Nassarius Snail x3| 6/17 Hermits x3| 6/17 Corals Hammer | 6/27 Green Toadstool Leather | 6/27 Pulsing Xenia |...

Hey all, I'm not sure if my fish are having aggression issues or if this is normal behaviour. Any advice is appreciated! I recently downsized from a 24g to a Fluval 13.5. In it I have plenty of live rock with many crevices, tunnels, and hideyholes, my corals (mostly small except for a "large"...

I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a Hanna test kit (Salinity, PH, Nitrate, Phosphate, Calcium, Alk). I must say, overall, I am pleased with how accurate and easy these little guys are to use. However...(BIG HOWEVER)...the nitrate test had me having flashbacks to high school biology...

Hi all, I’m currently cycling a fluval sea evo 13.5 and and trying to figure out stocking for this little tank. (Just a note, I’m new to saltwater fish keeping) My thoughts on stocking so far are: - A single Occ/Perc Clownfish - A Royal Blue Damsel (Chrysiptera Springeri) - A Purple Firefish...

Was sick of the levels of white of the stock light. Wanted to keep the hood so I updated to the fluval marine 3.0. The fit is great but I am not 100% sure on pro settings. Any recommendations? Post your marine 3.0 settings below.

Hello everyone! I am beginning a build thread for my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have had a variety of nano tanks before, namely a few IM Fusion 20’s, fusion 10, and a 55 gallon long ago. While I have done a handful of reef tanks before, corals have always been my achilles heel. I have had mixed...

I was tight on space and looked high and low for a good size match for Fluval Evo 13.5. Just wanted to save others time if they are in the same boat. This worked very well as an Evo stand; nearly the same size so little extra wasted space...

Hi, I’ve been having trouble with deciding whether or not to redo my Fluval 13.5 aquascape. This has especially been in mind since my last water change, when my big structure tipped and now feels like an accident waiting to happen. Here’s how it currently looks: I’m conflicted, because I...

Hi all, my coworker is taking down his set up and offered me a baseball sized Ponape Birdsnest for free. I’d like to take it but only if it’ll do well in my tank. I wasn’t planning on sps for this tank, but i’ve heard this is one of the easiest. My issue is that I only have a fluval evo 13.5 so...
