Hi from the UK!
I’ve just gotten into the hobby after a long time of wanting a nano tank. Everything seems to be going smoothly with salinity at 1.026 and ammonia, nitrites, nitrates being 0.
One issue: my ph is stubborn at 7.6ish despite alkalinity being between 8-9 as per fritz rpm salt...

What’s up everyone I recently set up my Fluval 13.5 tank, I did some little upgrades so far with a InTank Media Basket with Chemi Pure Blue and some Marine Pure Balls, then in the center chamber I are a mini refuge with some chaeto, marine pure balls and a mini refuge light. I also upgraded the...
Hi, everyone!
I'm looking for information on creating a refugium in the second chamber of my Fluval Evo 13.5. Has anyone done this? If so, did it make a difference in the nutrient levels in your tank? I'm worried that the refugium would be too small to make any noticeable difference. I'd...
Hey guys. I wanted to share my solution to a problem I've had a few times since I installed an ATO a few months ago. I haven't seen any threads with this exact fix and I'm a bit new to the hobby, so pardon me if this is common knowledge.
I'm using the XP Aqua Duetto as an ATO for my Fluval EVO...

Hi all,
I am starting a brand new nano Reef in a fluval Evo 13.5. I have never done a salt water tank so this is a new experience and I could definitely use any and all help. I would like to ask all of your opinions on the aquascape I made. It is about 11-12 lbs of live rock. I am wondering if...
Hi all!
I am fairly new to reefing and have a 12.5 gallon Fluval Evo Tank stocked with mostly softies and LPS plus 2 Montis and a BTA! I just upgraded from the stock light to an AI prime and am very curious as to how I should set up my light settings! I was advised to run 35% for blues and...

Hi! This is my first post here.

It's very loud (can hear it over the TV).
I've held it in the middle of the tank and its not loud at all! But cannot seem to get it to be quiet in the chamber it...

Hi guys, I may have a problem. I have a cleaner shrimp who lost 3 legs and all of his antennas have been cut short. I am not sure if my fish is nipping at it or if it’s being caused by my circulation pump...or something else? I have a fluval 13.5 evo and my circulation pump is somewhat close to...
Hello, I've been doing some research over the past week about getting into the hobby and starting my own nano. I love scuba diving and had a tank when I was a kid and would love to get back into the hobby. I'm so overwhelmed by all of the different pieces of equipment, steps, etc. necessary to...
Hello reefers, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5g mixed reef tank. It is my first saltwater reef tank. My tank is now 6 months old and has undergone a lot of upgrades and changes along the way. It’s a mixed reef so I have softies, lps, and sps. So Fluval is an AIO so it has 3 chambers in the back. The...
Hey gang,
I’ve been running a Fluval 13.5 since March. My first two corals from Biota came with these little grass-like things on them, and being a total noob, I thought nothing of them.
They grew to be quite long in one spot, and they’re starting to spread like little threads on my main...

I just picked up a hydra26 today and got the flex mount with it for my fluval evo. I was going to get an ai prime but apparently everyone is sold out and the company is not shipping any right now. My concern is the mount and how heavy it is. Does this look okay and do you think I should worry...
