Fluval evo 13.5 first saltwater tank!

[kelizabethrichard]

Hey everyone! This is my first post on here, I’m about a month and a half into my first saltwater tank. So far everything is going great - the only bad thing that’s happened is that I’ve lost a torch coral (I had a parameter ordeal after I lost a couple of snails under a rock that somehow died). But everything’s looking better. I’ll attach some pics. So excited to get into the hobby just wanted to share and say I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone.

That’s what I’m running in my evo as well. The AB+ setting has worked out for me and if you weren’t aware, ai site has presets that you can upload to your light.

Nice. I am setting up mine soon. Currently running 120, 73 and a 3.7g lol

Thank you!! I'll have to check those out. I've been mostly running blue/violet/led settings for about 8 hours a day, the rest is very low moonlighting at night. I have the red and green at about 5.

That's awesome! The variety must be fun. I've been looking into a Waterbox 10g temperate tank since I'm from Maine I'd like to recreate that type of environment, from my research it seems as though it's tough especially finding stock

What were you thinking of stocking? And have you checked out the CSXC-1 chiller?
