Finally! My first aquascape. Fluval 13.5

U_ser_ID · Feb 27, 2020

just glued these together. Three big rocks with one small on top and two tiny ones filling in and a small island. Opinions welcomed. I will be putting Hawaii black substrate in once I mix my saltwater. I've always wanted a marine tank and my oldest child has been curious when I will finally get my tank done (220 go needing a new front glass) so I bought this Fluval nano since we plan to move one more time and I don't want to tear down a 220 to move.

Nice! I like the cave. Welcome to the fluval fam

Thanks Espino, I like your island. How long has your tank been setup? I'm probably going with the ever popular clowns too.

Nice setup. FYI, if you use intank media chambers, you are going to want to plug the hole on the middle of the overflow wall.

Just make sure your magnet cleaner can fit between the rocks, looks close in the pics. Good luck!

Good heads up, I plan on doing that, just need to find some sacrificial black plastic. Lol

It's very close and hopefully my thought of using a razor blade by hand for those coupe spots. I can just fit a finger in there.

The tank should have come with one. Check the packaging. Also when you order the intank chamber should come with one

My tank has only been up a little over 2 months, however i did use established rock from a friends tank which helped speed the process.

I have both media baskets and I actually have an extra plug for the middle with the intank water director (Brand new). PM me your address and i will ship it to you.
