Good morning,
I recently picked up a Fluval evo 13.5 from craigslist for 80$ with a heater and stand. I am beginning my first saltwater tank build and would like input and feedback about what i need to be doing to improve on my build.
Hardware:
Tank: Fluval EVO 13.5
Light: Stock light (subject to change later)
Lid: Stock lid, may chane later aswell
Heater: Aqueon Submerseable heater(Got this for free, will probably change later)
Filter: INTANK chamber 1/2 inserts.
Filter Media: Filter floss/ ceramic media/carbon/ ChemiPure Blue
My current stocking plan consists of:
Fish:
2x clownfish (ocellaris most likely)
1x Firefish/fire goby/fire dartfish (I'm not too sure what the most commonly used name is)
CUC:
1x skunk cleaner shrimp
2x Turbo Snail
2x Nassarius Snail
2x Blue legged hermit crab
Corals:
I'm not too sure about corals yet, I probably wont add these for a few months after the fish are settled and I can make sure the tank is stable.
I will add a few photos documenting my progress, please let me know if you see any issues or improvements I can make.
