I have the 13.5 fluval evo. I have 2 DC powerheads that don't have a "stock" backup option (slw-10's). I am trying to figure out the best solution to getting gas transfer in the tank during a power outage, and everyone talks about backing up a powerhead. In the case of my nano, I'm using a sicce...

My Fluval EVO 13.5 AIO is reaching it's 6 month mark, with issues arising and being resolved. However this time, I have something that has began to reoccur that I'd like to ask more experienced reefers on their opinions and troubleshoot less, opposing troubleshooting once a month when the issue...

Hey guys I set up a Fluval evo yesterday and drew lines to note evaporation in the tank. The Fluval evo comes with three chambers and then the main display tank. Chamber 1 - I have put the heater here as I didn’t like it so close to the rubber return pump hose (yes I over think the heat of...

Good morning everybody. As per title i am running an AI prime 16 hd on my evo. As soon as the lightnis turned above 35% intensity across the blues and violets my LPS hates it and harldy open. My purple torch loses colour and the polyps start turning white. Had the torches under the prime for 3...

I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon and I have been trying different salts to see which one I like the best. I currently am about to try tropic marin which is what the local shop uses and a lot of people like it. A lot of people also like reef crystals and say it works great. I just want something...

Hello all! I’m new to the forum, however, I’ve read plenty of discussions to help me on my reef tank journey. Figured I’d officially sign up! To introduce my tank: I’ve got a fluval evo 13.5 that is a few months out from the one year mark. Plenty of ups and downs, but for my first ever tank...

Hey everybody, I know this question has been asked lots, but unfortunately I just can’t seem to find any answers that I feel could help my situation. I have had an AI prime 16HD mounted about 9 inches from the surface of the water, and there is a photo of my light settings. I’m running saxby’s...

I am considering adding a uv sterilizer to my fluval evo. I do not have any major algae outbreaks beyond what is typical such as some green hair algae (tank is 5 months) and normal algae build up on the sides of glass. I also have a BTA and one soft coral which are doing amazing. Should I add...

I’ve had my Fluval Evo for 2 months thus far and have had no issues whatsoever. I’m beginning to become attached to this tank and really enjoy it. However, I’ve read reviews online of some that have experienced leaking out of nowhere, even after months of owning it. How can this be avoided? Or...

Hello I have a fluval evo 13.5 gallon and its currently stocked with mostly lps coral. I had a 450 gph powerhead I put in the tank but I thought the flow was way too strong as the hammer coral started bleaching and losing material. Then I decided to remove powerhead for a bit and let the coral...

Title really says it all, I am on my third AI Blade Grow 12” and all three of them have only cast white light on half the aquarium. I can visualize the so called defect right on the blade itself. The white housing around the diodes cuts off the white light and only casts it onto half the tank...

Hey everyone, I’m rapidly upgrading all the components to my Evo 13.5 and one item I just bought was the AI Prime 16HD. I just wanted to hear from people who have a “successful” tank with similar dimensions, and an AI prime to see what they’re using for light settings. How high from the...
