Guess what ? It’s a super original tank... no it’s Fluval Evo 13.5, would have rather started with something like a 40 breeder but space and money are tight for that scale, it’s definitely size down but the ease of the Evo is what appealed to me. I know there’s literally 100+ of these threads, but I kinda kicked myself for not starting one when I set up my freshwater tank.
So here it is:
-AI prime
-stock pump
-hydor Koralia 240 powerhead
-cobalt neo therm 50w heater
-inkbird temp controller
-XPaqua duetto ATO
-diy eggcrate basket for chamber 1
Got about 12lb of the CaribSea life rock and 10lbs of their Fiji sand. the plan is to have a clownfish, a watchman goby and maybe down the line a third fish (purple firefish) and some cuc (trochus, nassirius, cerith, and emerald crab, might add a skunk cleaner or red shrimp but keeping it to two fish)
and obviously add some coral down the line, can’t wait to add more colour and movement to this tank!
Let me know what you think.
