show your fluval evo 13.5

And after looking through and reading everyone else’s light settings I’m thinking I need to raise mine up a bit

 

[DrunkenViking]

Anyone know what kind of zoa this is?

Here's mine. About 2 months in.

Have you posted any pictures of your tank lately? It looked like is was going to develop into something really great!

All - curious if anyone put anything below the chamber where the overflow chamber is; where the skimmer reside if one is installed? Seems like a rather good space for something.

My tank doesn’t have much too it but I keep my heater in my overflow

You should consider the InTank insert for the overflow. It's $60-$70, but it has been totally worth it. By the way, the question you responded to was from 4 years ago LOL. Welcome to R2R! Glad you're here.

Again, I love this thread! Here are some videos of my Fluval DT plus my build thread below.

Nano Build - 13.5 Fluval Evo Build Thread: Mixed Reef (Photo Heavy!)

Some history behind why I got back into the hobby - my marine biologist friend took many of my corals when I had to take my older tank down about 3-4 years ago. He contacted me a few weeks before I started the fluval saying his tank is not doing well. I got this fluval up ASAP and took in the...

Would love to see some of those first shots with a filter or with more white light added! Nice tank

Hey everyone
I have just redone my aquascape and looking for some suggestions for coral and wave maker placement

Please ignore that the water is currently cloudy as I’ve taken the photo straight after moving the rock

To help with placement, I am running AI Prime HD light and AI Nero 3 wavemaker

Current coral; white torch, flavite and trumpet

White torch? Got any close up pictures?

Aquascape looks great! How new is the tank? I lost a few euphyllia to RTN from new tank syndrome. Keep that alk up!! One good piece of advice from the LFS I worked at was place the power heads low if possible and have them facing up. But clearly we want them as less visible as possible. And maybe have the return pump breaking water surface.

start adding some soft corals! Mushrooms and zoanthids and a few easy choice LPS. Maybe some rock flowers? Check out my tank above for reference we have similar scapes

Thanks Saucey!

Tank is 6 months old, alk/kh is decent before he was introduced. What do you mean by RTN?
I moved position of wavemaker last night and this morn torch was as below, but then when I got home he was back to before. I’ve had a new media basket arrive today so have had to move wave maker over a bit once it was added and have done a water change to get salinity down so it’s gone back to sulking again. Hopefully it’s out again tomorrow, and will take your feedback with the above, appreciate it!

Love your tank dude

Again this morning the torch is half out so I’m thinking it doesn’t like the light intensity. I’m going to reduce the settings as I’m running AI Prime HD and see if it likes it.
Edit - it won’t let me attach the video..
