evo

Hello from Midland Texas, I’m brand new to the saltwater community! I have been a freshwater keeper for 15 years and I still have a lot to learn about salt water, so any input would be appreciated ! Currently setup I have a Fluval Evo 13 gallon with a small porcupine puffer and a ocellaris clown...

Hello, I have a Fluval evo 13.5 with upgrades on the flow. I upgraded the stock return pump to an AI Axis 40 and have the dual random flow generators from VCA. I do not have any power heads. I’m currently running the pump at 50%; is this too much or too little? If so, how much should I be...

Fluval Evo 13.5 Some pics and writing to track my evo build Will try to keep this thread updated with latest info on my evo, hopefully this will help me track progress and changes. Hardware: Ai Prime HD Sicce voyager nano 2000lph Sicce Syncra 0.5 DFlow chamber 1&2 media basket H2Ocean...

Hello R2R, I have a Fluval Evo V I have been using as a QT for a year or so. Works great, no scratches or leaks, just don't need it any longer and want my bar back. Comes with Fluval AquaSky 24" LED in box too for a nice upgrade. I'm willing to trade for extra Red Sea ReefMat 500 rolls and...

This is my main tank at the moment. I used to have many other (larger) tanks but now I live in a condo. Equipment: Fluval Evo 13.5g AI Prime 16HD Tunze 1073.008 water pump XP Aqua Duetto ATO Aquatop 100W Titanium Heater Intank media caddy for intake compartment Flow randomizer for one of the...

Still a work in progress, planning to eventually add corals, but no more fish. - evo 13.5 - two mocha clowns (paired) - live rock from Florida - a bunch of hitchhikers not much right now, but eventually I hope it is full of corals!!

First dive in to saltwater, going slow since I'm still wrapping up summer projects. I just want it up before Christmas! Here goes nothing! What I have or ordered so far: Tank - Fluval Evo 13g, dang Petco sales make it too easy. Sand - Carib Sea Special Grade - waiting Rock - Carib Sea South...

I have the fluval evo and am in the process of upgrading the filter. I have a protein skimmer in chamber 1 and got the InTank basket for chamber 2. I have chemi pure in the top, purigen in the middle and filter floss in the bottom. I’m still getting some particles in the water, so I’m wondering...

so I’ve had this tank over a year. Always struggled keeping coral and maintaining water quality. it’s only 60L and exactly the same as the Fluval Evo except slightly taller + a filter grid at bottom (see pic) I’ve noticed a surface biofilm problem despite good agitation, and my filter floss on...

I removed my Intank chamber 1 basket to change chemi-pure bag. When I put the basket back in the tank, water levels have decreased in chambers 2 & 3. It looks like water is trickling through the side of the basket rather than through it (see second pic) Because my heater isn’t fully...

So I've been in the hobby for 3 years, I have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been very successful. I recently started up a 13.5 fluval evo nano, I used all established live rock from my 90 gallon system sump. The tank inhabits 2 clowns, an urchin and a narcissus snail, plus a few zoa frags...

I began my reef hobby nearly 6 months ago with a 13.5 Fluval EVO, and I've had great luck with it thus far (knocking on all the wood available). So far the only major problem I have encountered was a salinity spike that nearly killed my hammer (Beginner mistake- I relied on a cheap hydrometer)...

So I just got my first reef tank and it’s a fluval evo 13.5. I love the size as it fits perfectly on my nightstand and I get to fall asleep every night looking at a coral reef which imo is heaven. I’ve heard many people say that these nano tanks can be tricky as they can change water parameters...

Hello everyone! I am beginning a build thread for my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have had a variety of nano tanks before, namely a few IM Fusion 20’s, fusion 10, and a 55 gallon long ago. While I have done a handful of reef tanks before, corals have always been my achilles heel. I have had mixed...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 and wanted a very small wave maker circulation pump since tank space was at a premium. After a lot of research, this is the smallest I have found. e.g. Hygger 1.5 x 1.5 inches (better reviews than Jebao) Jebao SLW 5 is 2.5 x 1.5 inches (some poor reviews)...

I was tight on space and looked high and low for a good size match for Fluval Evo 13.5. Just wanted to save others time if they are in the same boat. This worked very well as an Evo stand; nearly the same size so little extra wasted space...

Im looking for a 3d printed media box with 3 chambers similar to the in tank media box, hopefully at a cheaper cost! Fluval Evo 5 Sea

Here’s another Evo 13.5 SG 1.025 Alk 9 Calc 420 Mag 1400 https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/canadian-evo-13-5.790110/

Hello, I was into saltwater fish and corals (low budget style) long time ago. With Covid last year, i began thinking going back to fish hobby, finally decided to get Fluval Evo 13.5 3 months ago. Happny with what i have so far with mostly zoas, palys, and soft corals. Fluval Evo 13.5 build...

We bought this tank a year ago. We had had small freshwater tanks before and my daughter had a betta tank. We were interested in getting a new tank and my husband was interested in saltwater but I was scared of them. The guy at the lfs convinced me that it wasn’t any harder than maintaining a...

I'll start this by apologising for any spelling mistakes or bad grammar, I'm not the best at writing. This is my first build thread so sorry if it's not upto the normal standard. So I was given a free Evo by a friend of a friend who has abandoned tank and wanted nothing to do with it anymore. I...

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...

Hey guys I hope everyone is keeping safe and well during these times. Looking to order a ATO for my new Evo I think I’ve narrowed it down between two. the Tunze Nano and the H2Ocean. is one any better than the other? Or is there another i should consider. If you could explain reasoning behind...

Hey guys. I wanted to share my solution to a problem I've had a few times since I installed an ATO a few months ago. I haven't seen any threads with this exact fix and I'm a bit new to the hobby, so pardon me if this is common knowledge. I'm using the XP Aqua Duetto as an ATO for my Fluval EVO...

I began working on this tank June 9th 2019. It's an all-in-one Fluval Evo 13.5 XII that sits on my nightstand and is a species tank for mantis shrimp. This thread is to document my journey building this nano system and learning how to care for the fascinating animals inside. Here is some...
