Fluval evo 13.5 newish build

[DrunkenViking]

We have had this tank going for about 4 months and are looking to do some upgrades on it. Maybe add a 10 gallon sump anyone have any advice?

Looks like you're off to a good start, I wouldn't over complicate it. Maybe upgrade the light if you haven't but that's the beauty in nanos.

Agree! That tank looks great for being 4 months. What lights are you running?

I have the AI prime hd over it now. This is the first nano I have ever done and I was just thinking a small sump may do it good.

AI prime hd

I have never seen anything grow as fast as it has in this tank parameters are great. I have always spot fed corals but this time I’m getting insane growth

I think whatever you're doing so far is pretty good. The extra volume would be a plus, but it's also adding a failure point.

Oh well you're golden then.

Unless you are just wanting more water volume or to have a display refugium (which are always cool) you can easily grow chaeto in the back chamber of the evo. Mine has the room but haven't felt the need.

That’s sorta what I was thinking as well just wanting to get other opinions and see if anyone else has added a sump.
