Hey folks,
I've recently got into the reefing hobby this week and set up my Fluval Evo 13.5 as my starting tank. I've come to realize that there are a fair amount of tiny air bubbles are around the tank with a majority of them being around the return pump and powerhead along by the protein...
Hi ;Doctor, My name is Michael, from the UK and I’ve been in the hobby now for about 8 months. This is my first tank (and entry into fishkeeping in general besides helping with water changes as a kid ) and I’ve not killed anything major yet so thought I’d put a post on here.
Attached is a...

Hey all! Just set up my Fluval Evo last night and I plan on making it a macroalgae tank! For equipment I'm using:
-100 Watt Cobalt neotherm heater
-Sicce syncra 0.5 pump

For the scape, I figured I would keep the rockwork low and let the algae give it height (let me know what you...
Hi guys,
I am new to this blog and I am excited to learn more about being a reef hobbyist. I have a Fluval 13.5 with a pair of designer Clownfish. I was wandering what also is recommendable for live stock in my tank? I am having diatoms in my sand. I was thinking about getting a firefish or a...

Hey guys I hope everyone is keeping safe and well during these times.
Looking to order a ATO for my new Evo I think I’ve narrowed it down between two.

Hi from the UK!
I’ve just gotten into the hobby after a long time of wanting a nano tank. Everything seems to be going smoothly with salinity at 1.026 and ammonia, nitrites, nitrates being 0.
One issue: my ph is stubborn at 7.6ish despite alkalinity being between 8-9 as per fritz rpm salt...

Hi, everyone!
I'm looking for information on creating a refugium in the second chamber of my Fluval Evo 13.5. Has anyone done this? If so, did it make a difference in the nutrient levels in your tank? I'm worried that the refugium would be too small to make any noticeable difference. I'd...
Hey guys. I wanted to share my solution to a problem I've had a few times since I installed an ATO a few months ago. I haven't seen any threads with this exact fix and I'm a bit new to the hobby, so pardon me if this is common knowledge.
