Hi there! I’ve finally got almost everything that I need to start up a nano reef aquarium and will be picking up a fluval evo 13.5 gallon all in one aquarium this weekend!

I'll start this by apologising for any spelling mistakes or bad grammar, I'm not the best at writing. This is my first build thread so sorry if it's not upto the normal standard. So I was given a free Evo by a friend of a friend who has abandoned tank and wanted nothing to do with it anymore. I...

Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing well. My fluval 13.5 is 1 month and 2 weeks old. I have two clownfish, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 yellow watchman goby and a cleaner shrimp. Can I add the pistol shrimp? I feel the goby needs a friend but I am scared of pushing too much bio load.

Hey folks, I've recently got into the reefing hobby this week and set up my Fluval Evo 13.5 as my starting tank. I've come to realize that there are a fair amount of tiny air bubbles are around the tank with a majority of them being around the return pump and powerhead along by the protein...
