For those of you with a fluval evo 13.5, what are you running in your chambers? Is there a skimmer that fits the second chamber? I’m picking one up today and curious what everyone is using
 
In chamber one, I run the intank media basket with filter floss on top and chemipure in the middle.
Chamber two has a large bag of seachem matrix.
Chamber 3 has a Cobalt neotherm 75W heater and a sicce .5 return pump.

My nitrates read <5 and phosphates <.25 or undetectable. I feed every other day with an eraser head size of mysis shrimp and 3 NLS Thera+ pellets. I also dose 2ml of Aquavitro Fuel once a week.

Many have said as long as you feed light and do 25% weekly water changes, that a skimmer/fuge isnt really necessary. But once I have a good amount of coral and I see my nitrates/phosphates become detectable I may try a chaeto fuge in chamber two.
 
Chamber 1 I have intank media basket, filter floss followed by chemi pure nano, with purigen and marinepure block in bottom. Second chamber have a refugium marine pure block, cheato, and pods. ( innovative marine refugium light) opposite DT lights. 3rd chamber have heater and return pump
