Has anyone had any success with Fluval Evo 5gal?

You got to eliminate the phosphate, you need GFO and chemi pure elite has that in it

Np bro, I'm just starting mine I'm only a week in my Fluval Evo 5g! Im putting a protein skimmer on it this weekend! Check out this protein skimmer for nano on eBay call dymax iq, it's legit and inexpensive too!

Nice man, check out the hydor pico Evo, it's legit and powerful enough to give your tank optimal flow!! So the biocube skimmer is working well?

Which hydor pico did you go with? Did it fit OK in that space?

U need an air pump for it which it doesn't come with

Ok when I had a algae boom in my tank I got 2 phosban reactors and one I put carbon and the other I put Rowa phos!! It was a complete success and work legitimately! Maybe you could try this and it will help bro!

I'm having fun with mine... Decided to start with a practice tanks and the Evo V was perfect for it.

I've added a job fuge that seems to work great. The stock return pump is kinda weak IMO so I've got a temporary submersible pump in there now.

I've also replaced the stock LED light with The current USA lights. So far I haven't dad any complaints. I currently don't have any fish... Not much swimming room left. [emoji4]

My first coral tank was a Fluval Spec V. Looks to be about the same tank. I switched the light out to some 18 inch T-5s. Added chemi pure elite to the filter chamber. Added 4 inches of sand and lots of rock and I ran that tank for a couple years. I was fantastic. Easiest tank I ever owned.
