    Nano stocking

    Hello, I’m looking to stock my Fluval evo 13.5. I saw someone on here that stocked theirs with a pair of ocellaris, a yasha shrimp goby, and a six line wrasse. I’m suprised how many fish they have in the tank since I see most people saying the maximum would be a pair of clowns. Can I stock mine...

    Fluval Evo 13.5 Uv Sterilizer

    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...

    AIO Build Fluval Evo 13.5 leak concern

    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.

    Sicce Syncra Silent 1.0 Fluval Evo 13.5 question

    Hey everyone! I went with a lot of recommendations and reviews and got the Sicce Syncra Silent 1.0 for my Fluval Evo 13.5 Reef tank. As I slid it into the 3rd chamber, it wouldn’t go the whole way down as it was too large to slide past the intake vent for the second chamber. Anyone have...

    Fluval Evo 5 Pump upgrade

    Any recommendations for a pump upgrade on the fluval evo 5 gallon tank? The sump measures at a tiny 2.1inches X 1.9inches. Yikes! I read people recco the Newa MN606 (84-159 GPH) - but that's too big for my sump... Really trying to find the smallest pump that is above 100GPH Thanks!

    Build Thread Fluval Evo 13.5

    This was taken 1/22/22 and I've since moved the mushrooms to the rocks in my tank as I read that they prefer to be on rocks and not in sand ;Cat My tank has been up since Sept. 2021, and I got the coral on Friday 1/21/22

    The Fluval Evo where all things soft die

    Hi guys! I have had a fluval Evo for nearly a year. My plan was Xenia hell, because who doesn't love a tank with Xenia on every surface and a couple clowns to play in it? Apparently this tank had other ideas. If it is soft, it dies. Soft corals, mushroom coral, xenia, zoas, seahares...

    Red Macro Algae Turning White

    I recently downgraded my tank and after a few months I've noticed that my red sea lettuce (?) has not colored up since the move. It appears to be slowly growing, but very pale. My dragons' breath algae is doing well and I've had it for less time. I assume the change may be because of the new...
