Fluval flex 15 saltwater conversion

[StephenO]

I currently am converting my fluval flex 15 in saltwater I bought the in tank media basket I purchased compartment 1 and believe I should have bought chamber 2 so I can use a protein skimmer in compartment one any advise would be great I also have the fluval sea light coming and could use some advise on modifications to the factory hood.

welcome aboard the r2r board! hello from PA!

i can't offer help on your fluval as i have 0 experience with this tank, but you are in the right place for information. i am sure some reefers here have experience with modifying a fluval.

Best advice I can give you is let the tank cycle Test then test and test again All your parameters before adding any live stock. And most importantly ask if you’re not sure of anything! The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked! We are all here to help!

Thank you so much I really appreciate it this is the first tank I set up it's a biocube kinda learned as I went

Don’t be in a hurry to stock but take the time to get tank right and mature

Welcome to R2R! I have no experience with the Flex 15 but if you do a search in the AIO Member's Tanks forum you should find a fair number of Flex 15 builds. I'm sure one or more of them have already done the conversion.

I have a flex 15. Take your time, and let it cycle. I use the filter sponge that comes with it. No skimmer and super consistent water changes. Maybe a bigger one here and there if parameters need a reset
