Yeah I'm probably going to get some egg crates and move most of the filtration to chamber 1 and figure out a refugium for chamber 2I have yet to add "intank" media and create a refugium , I have been up and running my evo for a month now with a couple of frags and two clowns with a bunch of critters and i def wanna add a refugium so that by time fall comes back around ill get a mandarin

unfortunately with plenty of research it seems the egg crate allows to much water flow around and not through the chamber , if you use acrylic and cut off some of the flow from chamber two and one and also block off the whole inside tank ( middle) it will workYeah I'm probably going to get some egg crates and move most of the filtration to chamber 1 and figure out a refugium for chamber 2
Edit...3rd has pump and heaterHere's the refugium on my son's evo. Cheap skimmer from Amazon in chamber 1, second chamber is macro algae with a cheap Amazon grow light on the back, and second chamber has stock pump and heater. It's simple and works great, sometimes too good since nutrients are undetectable.
Oh yeah, that makes sense. I might have to invest in a sheet of acrylic to block some of those holes. Thanks for the heads upunfortunately with plenty of research it seems the egg crate allows to much water flow around and not through the chamber , if you use acrylic and cut off some of the flow from chamber two and one and also block off the whole inside tank ( middle) it will work
I suggest that you scratch off the black hex decal where your light is, I did the same with a razor blade, super easy. You'll get a lot more light going through, which'll mean faster growth.
Wow didn't realize how nice the tank looks without the honeycomb design around the top Definitely something I'm consideringHere’s mine, chamber one intank basket with floss on top middle has chemipure and purigen and bottom has marinepure block. My fuge in the second chamber has marinepure block and cheato, a lot of pods in there also, have a IM fuge light Velcro on the back runs opposite my display tank and overlaps a couple hours. 3rd chamber has return and heater. Also just took off the black honey comb on the fluval display I like it a lot better and came off so easy.

Yea looks a lot better, I did mine because I’m taking off the hood and getting a AI prime HD and just ordered a safe top lid fusion vent which will make the rimless effect work and the honey comb would’ve looked bad with that lid and setup. This is the lid I ordered.
I believe that's from Safe Top Lids. I may be wrong but they have some nice ones tooWhere did you get this lid from? It is the best one that I have seen and would like to order one.
Hey everyone, I'm thinking about setting up a refugium in my Evo 13.5 and am looking for ideas. Let me know what worked for you and what didn't!

Hi,
I looked around for a whole and couldn't find anything on the market that fitted what I wanted so I designed and 3d printed one to go in chamber two. Made a video of it here Seems to be working really well so far.

What chamber baskets do you use? Do you have any issues with flow? I have the dflow baskets but seem to be having next to no water in my refugiumHere’s mine, chamber one intank basket with floss on top middle has chemipure and purigen and bottom has marinepure block.
