fluval 13.5

So i started my fluval around 4 months ago and after reading on here i did everything a little wrong lol but were managing. Its got a few upgrades to it though. I definitely had to evolve quickly.

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...

Hey guys! New to this so take it easy on me LOL. I just added two clownfish to my tank after a first cycle with a few hermit crabs and a clown (sadly the clown did not make it, terrible recommendation from the local Petco, will admit I did not do my due diligence beforehand, definitely shouldn’t...

Hi all, I am trying to replace the stock nozzle on the fluval evo13.5. have attached a 1/2" rfg nozzle but it is very loose/wobbly? Have I attached it correctly?

Hi All, I have just upgraded to the Ai Prime 16HD with my fluval evo 13.5. I am using the David Saxby Lighting schedule and have set the acclimation to start at 35% and ramp up for 60 days. Is this suitable or should i make some changes. Light is 8" from surface and corals are with mainly...

Hi everyone! I am very new to this hobby. I’ve kept freshwater for years. I currently have 9 freshwater tanks. I’m now 4 months in on my first reef tank. Successfully navigated the ugly phase and have some (8) frags so far. Nothing to write home about. The light on the Evo 13.5 died… the...

Hello Reefers! Yet another Fluval Evo build here for all of you! I got into this hobby just over a year ago during a long lockdown YouTube session where I somehow ended up in the saltwater recommended videos. After watching for hours I was hooked and wanted to gather as much information as...

Greetings ... I'd like to update the lighting on my Fluval EVO 13.5 as the stock like is not adjustable and does not provide great growth for corals. I'm aware that a hang over light such as an AI Prime would be optimal but I'm trying to retain the factory hood for the slim look, don't want the...

I was just wondering what kind of schedule people are running on their Fluval Evo 13.5 with the stock lighting. I’m going to upgrade eventually but for now I’m gonna keep the stock lights. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

Hi .... built my Evo 13.5 with a SICCE Syncra Silent 0.5 return pump. I've been told that a wavemaker / powerhead is needed to maintain good flow in the tank. Im seeing that food settles on the substrate after 30-40 sec but that could be move of my placement of the two return outlets. (1)...

Hello all! I have a fluval Evo 13.5 AIO. My seahare decided to squeeze through the tiny hole on the AIO divider. It was alive and immediately went back to eating when i put it back in the DT (and I closed that hole again. Sneaky little seahare). But I've noticed that its shell is exposed...

Hi guys, This is my first post here :). Excited to be a part of the community. This evo is my first saltwater tank in about 10 years. I just got cycled, did a large water change and am ordering fish tomorrow! I haven't installed my skimmer yet, but I moved my m50 heater to the return chamber...

Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?

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...

Hi everyone! Recently we’ve been planning to redo the flooring on the second floor of our house. This is also where I keep my Fluval Evo 13.5 that I’ve had up and running for about 9 months now. I don’t have much in it apart from the filtration system, pump, heater, sand, live rock, a pair of...

Hi I am new to the forum and this is my first build by myself (mostly my husband butt in a little ). So I had decided to build this tank as my husband has left the country to go to school so I wanted something that would challenge me and something that I enjoyed. I have dabbled in saltwater...

Greetings all, just wanted to jump in on the intros, and introduce my tank. Grabbed a Fluval Evo 13.5, and have replaced everything but the glass over the past 7 months. Started in February, going *well* enough considering this is my first saltwater/coral tank. 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, 1 red...
