evo 13.5

I have an Evo 13.5 and I have 2 new clownfish. There are no other fish just a new assortment of LPS corals mostly. My nitrite levels were at a .5 for the first 3 days and I did a 50% water change. The tank is 4 weeks old and has cycled. upon putting the fish in (2x occys) they began hosting the...

Hello again R2R! I am enthusiastically planning my first tank. I’ve tried my best to go used but have had too many setbacks and am settling on going new. I added my current ideas to the poll. It should be noted that for the 40/75 I would be using HOB equipment for a while to start. Im trying...

Forums are great to share opinions so I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with sicce ‘silent’ pumps in the UK. The first 1.0 I bought online rattled like crazy. I know vibrations can stress fish so not being keen on this I bought another 1.0 from my LFS. Same problem. Presumed...

I haven't been a member for long, but been seeing many posts of people doing an evo 13.5 build either as a side project or their first reef tank. I have had this tank in the past and tried to do a mixed reef, but it didnt work out the way I hoped. So I was wondering how other reefers set it up...

I've been trying to get the time to sit down and introduce myself as things have been hectic and I've been praying for 36 hour days. I joined the forum a while ago and am making the time today to stop being rude and introduce myself. My name is Ana and I'm from South Florida. I'm not new to...

so I’ve had this tank over a year. Always struggled keeping coral and maintaining water quality. it’s only 60L and exactly the same as the Fluval Evo except slightly taller + a filter grid at bottom (see pic) I’ve noticed a surface biofilm problem despite good agitation, and my filter floss on...

Really quick question- are these frags too high (ignore GSP) ? Ai Prime is set as shown below (Fluval Evo tank) . Never kept Acans before, I understand they prefer lower light. I am not in possession of a PAR reader and to be completely honest I am struggling to tell if this acan is happy or...

Hi, yet another relatively new Eco 13.5 owner here. The tank has been running for over a month with 15lb of KP Aquatics "wet rock". I probably should have chosen their 10lb option as I wanted a relatively open aqua scape, but decided to use it all since I didn't want to waste what I'd paid for...

Hello guys I’ve a few questions on the evo for 13.5 gallon, so it’s listed as being 22x15 but that’s for the tank itself in the photos I see it has some sort of stand/base that it sits on does anyone have information on what the dimensions on that is? As well does anyone have any experience with...

I’m very new to this only ever had a beta fish. My son wanted a clown fish for his 7th birthday and didn’t know how hard it would be to maintain not just the fish but the tank and what he can add to the tank. Bought him a Evo 13.5 with some live rocks and said why not go all in. I started...

Build journey part 1: setup and cycling Hi all. I just joined R2R having been lurking for a while (some really great info and advice here), and decided to post my build thread. I got the tank in early December 2021 as a family Christmas present (read: me doing all the work, my wife and...

Hey! So I got into saltwater a little over a month ago and I got the fluval evo. I love the size and look of the tank and it’s the perfect size for me as it fits on my nightstand. As I did more and more research I learned it’s much easier to have a higher water volume so I considered adding a...

So I just got my first reef tank and it’s a fluval evo 13.5. I love the size as it fits perfectly on my nightstand and I get to fall asleep every night looking at a coral reef which imo is heaven. I’ve heard many people say that these nano tanks can be tricky as they can change water parameters...

Yesterday I got this little guy. I already had something covering the feeding port from when I got my hi-fin banded goby, but it didn't look very nice. I had more magnets holding it down before, but I had to borrow some to do my 3D print. I designed a new port cover using 3D modelling...

Edit: Fish Plan! Thanks to all for the feedback/recos, I really appreciate it! First aquarium from scratch! :) grew up with a 45g that I adored as a child, so my mom surprised me with an Evo 13.5 for my 26th birthday! Tank/Equipment: Fluval Evo 13.5g, stock light & pump, hygger 1,600GPH wave...

Hello everyone! First would love to say - this place is amazing! I have learned so much and have been inspired by so many of your posts in my short time being on the platform, and I’m so excited to be apart of this community. Growing up I had a 45 gallon tank that was gifted to my mom and I...

Has anyone else with a Fluval Evo had a problem with clownfish jumping out? I lost one last night, and this is the second time a clownfish has jumped out in the ~5 years I've had the tank. I guess I should cover the little opening in the front. Does anyone have good ideas for what to use to...

Hey Everyone! I am beginning to dose on my EVO 13.5. Im going to start dosing tropic marin all for reef. I got a single dosing pump and I’m not sure where to put it. I would like to put in my third chamber as the heater, ATO, and pump is. However I’m worried that its to stagent or slow moving. I...

Figured I should probably start a build thread, only about 2 months late. This tank is a Fluval evo 13.5g Current stocking list CUC Trochus Snail x1 | 6/17 Cerith Snail x11| 6/17 Nassarius Snail x3| 6/17 Hermits x3| 6/17 Corals Hammer | 6/27 Green Toadstool Leather | 6/27 Pulsing Xenia |...

Not too sure if I have put this in the right forum but here goes: I own a fluval spec 60, similar to the fluval sea evo however it is slightly taller therefore has a more (and I mean about 8 lol) litres. Also the evo has a much better light. it is newly setup, and I’m already scratching my...

Hello everyone! I am beginning a build thread for my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have had a variety of nano tanks before, namely a few IM Fusion 20’s, fusion 10, and a 55 gallon long ago. While I have done a handful of reef tanks before, corals have always been my achilles heel. I have had mixed...

I was tight on space and looked high and low for a good size match for Fluval Evo 13.5. Just wanted to save others time if they are in the same boat. This worked very well as an Evo stand; nearly the same size so little extra wasted space...

Good morning, this is my first tank so I will explain where I am at currently. Started with 10lbs Caribsea livesand, 7lbs live rock with no coraline and 3lbs live rock with coraline. I have updated the pump with a sicce 1.0. I currently have a YWG with a tiger pistol shrimp, one Zoa ( not...

Hello everyone, I am two months into my first saltwater experience. I have been doing freshwater for over 10 years and wish I would have started saltwater earlier. My first tank is a fluval evo 13.5 and so far it is doing well, a lot to learn and research. Just wanted to say hello and thanks...

Hi there, I'm looking to add some extra blue lights to my stock Fluval Evo setup. Not looking at expensive lights at the moment as am planning a larger setup in the future. The stock light is capable as so I've read, though there is just too much white light and not enough blue. Not the most...
