Hello R2R,
I have a Fluval Evo V I have been using as a QT for a year or so. Works great, no scratches or leaks, just don't need it any longer and want my bar back. Comes with Fluval AquaSky 24" LED in box too for a nice upgrade. I'm willing to trade for extra Red Sea ReefMat 500 rolls and...
Sorry for the bad pictures. It’s i. My fluval 13.5 and I didn’t scrape off the back side of it. You can kind of see it but they look like white webs all over the chamber in the back. Looks as if they’re keeping the chamber clean of detritus in the first one but the second chamber is a little...

After years in the hobby, I have found myself with little time to dedicate to my tank. Mid-summer I broke the tank down, giving everything a vinegar bath before storing (putting everything away dry). Brand new, all items surpass a $3,200 purchase price. If...
Ok, so I am getting ready to finish my cycle in a fluval 13.5, and have a few questions. I just put some snails in and a tiger conch and they seem to be doing just fine; however my nitrites are not quite 0, but not .25 either.
1st: is it safe to put corals in with trace nitrites?
2nd: what...
I have a 9 gallon reef tank that I obsess over a bit too much. I have dumped way too much money into the thing (although I know I could do more if I had the space). I’ll try and keep this brief but basically I need some pointers getting to the next level with sps. Personally, I think my numbers...
Forums are great to share opinions so I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with sicce ‘silent’ pumps in the UK.
The first 1.0 I bought online rattled like crazy. I know vibrations can stress fish so not being keen on this I bought another 1.0 from my LFS.
Same problem. Presumed...
Just showing off my tank. Hope this could belong here... if not let me know.
My friend wanted a video to show his kid so figured why not post it here, too?
Here's what I have running:
-Fluval 13.5, stock filtration, stock lighting
-Have a laser cut media basket, haven't used it yet. waiting...
First dive in to saltwater, going slow since I'm still wrapping up summer projects. I just want it up before Christmas! Here goes nothing!
What I have or ordered so far:
Tank - Fluval Evo 13g, dang Petco sales make it too easy.
Sand - Carib Sea Special Grade - waiting
Rock - Carib Sea South...
I've been trying to get the time to sit down and introduce myself as things have been hectic and I've been praying for 36 hour days. I joined the forum a while ago and am making the time today to stop being rude and introduce myself.
My name is Ana and I'm from South Florida. I'm not new to...
I have the fluval evo and am in the process of upgrading the filter. I have a protein skimmer in chamber 1 and got the InTank basket for chamber 2. I have chemi pure in the top, purigen in the middle and filter floss in the bottom. I’m still getting some particles in the water, so I’m wondering...
so I’ve had this tank over a year. Always struggled keeping coral and maintaining water quality.
it’s only 60L and exactly the same as the Fluval Evo except slightly taller + a filter grid at bottom (see pic)
I’ve noticed a surface biofilm problem despite good agitation, and my filter floss on...
So I have a 32 Gal Fluval Flex that has been running for about 9 months now. Recently, I had a couple Zoas and a GSP that have been closed up for a few days so I decided to test my water. The results were:
Ammonia: 0.0
Nitrite: 0.0
Nitrate 0.0 (checked twice w Hanna checker)
Phosphate:0.37...
I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing:
-0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand)
-16g magnesium (seachem dry)
Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet.
Can people recommend good/better brands?
Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef?
I feel like...
Ok so I want to upgrade the light on my Fluval Evo. Everything I read said that the AI Prime is the best light. But for me 200$ is a lot for a light. I found a few alternatives that I wanted to ask if anybody had experience with them. If you all don’t think any are adequate for my tank please...
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing a couple Intank Media Baskets for my Fluval Flex 32.5. I was wondering how everybody liked them? Do they work well with the stock pump as far a flow and everything. Also, what do your filter media set ups look like? Has anyone actually had luck with Macro Algae...
Hey guys so I’ve had this skimmer for almost two months now and I legit can’t figure out my issue with it, it constantly makes micro bubbles in my tank still and the skimmer itself is legit impossible to ever dial in, it either has a zero or 100 mode where the bubbles just come non stop filling...
Slow day at work so I figured I would finally write up a build thread to document and show my progress. I started back in March this year when someone gifted me an Evo 13.5 boy what a rabbit hole I have fallen down since then. I have taken care of freshwater fish in the past, but marine is...
Hey guys in a few months my family is going on a 9 day vacation, I have a 13.5 gallon evo and was wondering what do I need to get for it while on vacation aside from a timer for lights and an automatic fish food feeder, with my freshwater tanks going on vacation for two weeks was always nothing...
Hey guys I have a fluval 13.5 gallon ive set it up with live rock, live sand, etc keep it at about 78 degrees and salinity at 1.025 sometimes 1.026 as I’m still figuring out how to use my salinity measuring tools correctly. the tank has been stable so I’ve introduced a few snails here and there...
Hello guys I have zero idea how a skimmer works or if I even need a skimmer, I’m setting a 13.5 gallon tank (the evo) and I got this fluval skimmer with it(I don’t even know what it does) do I need to use it? What’s the purpose of a skimmer? I briefly tried to read on it and is it suppose to...
So I've been in the hobby for 3 years, I have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been very successful.
I recently started up a 13.5 fluval evo nano, I used all established live rock from my 90 gallon system sump. The tank inhabits 2 clowns, an urchin and a narcissus snail, plus a few zoa frags...
I began my reef hobby nearly 6 months ago with a 13.5 Fluval EVO, and I've had great luck with it thus far (knocking on all the wood available). So far the only major problem I have encountered was a salinity spike that nearly killed my hammer (Beginner mistake- I relied on a cheap hydrometer)...
