Hi all - I’m sharing my 13.5 gallon / 52L Fluval Evo. It’s coming up to be almost 5 months old (set up 31 May 2025).

You’ll see from the photos the tank looks like it’s gone through (and still going) quite a bit in this short time.

Mostly I’d like you to play a game of “spot the different types of algae/bacteria”. I seem to have a very good mix in this little space.

Whilst I’m not overjoyed about all the issues, it has been a great learning experience and I’m staying positive and now making small gradual changes to move things in the right direction.

Note the photo was taken after lights out with a bright ceiling light illuminating the tank.

Happy to hear your thoughts or field questions.

Edit: sorry I was having issues uploading images. I've compressed them and trying again!
