Hi fellow reefers....
I thought I'd share my Fluval Edge Marine conversion. New to reefing, and this is my first tank 3 months in. What a minefield it's been and the sheer amount of research and cost to it all. What's your thoughts on my set up? Started using chemi pure blue nano filter media...
Hey All,
If you're reading this, welcome! I'm basically starting this thread as a way to document my own progression (all of the ups and downs) with building a Jellyfish Tank out of a slightly modified Fluval Flex 15. Admittedly I did get the idea from the Omni 8/9 which seems to be chronically...
I started my very first tank April 2022 and recently joined the R2R community almost a year into the hobby. Prior to setting up my Fluval 13.5 I’ve never had a fish tank, saltwater or fresh. I decided to get into the hobby one day and the very next day I was at my LFS purchasing all the...
Hello all!
I'm new here and essentially completely new to the hobby. I have wanted a jellyfish tank for myself for a number of years now and have decided to pull the trigger so to speak; However I found the price of the available tanks/kits to be quite prohibitive and not exactly what I was...
Hi my name is Aiden and I have a problem…
just kidding, sort of. Hello everyone! To preface I have tried and tried to get out of the hobby a couple times now but I guess I just can’t fight it. I’m meant to glue live animals to rocks and burn money on salt.
I’m here to learn from and share my...
After deciding to postpone my new build and upgrade one of my current tanks a little more first, I'm trying to debate between the lighting for it.
It a Fluval Flex 32.5, currently running the Fluval Marine 3.0
I'm looking to add mostly softies in there, so I don't need anything super crazy...
This tank has been up for almost 6 months. I bought this light maybe a year ago (CoraLife 30”-36”). Tank size - 13.5g fluval 13.5
I found out recently that I can set a (rise/fall) to mimic the sunrise and sunset. The lights are on for 10 hours (including mimicry)
I have a simple reading on my...

Hello R2R,
I have a Fluval Evo V I have been using as a QT for a year or so. Works great, no scratches or leaks, just don't need it any longer and want my bar back. Comes with Fluval AquaSky 24" LED in box too for a nice upgrade. I'm willing to trade for extra Red Sea ReefMat 500 rolls and...
Sorry for the bad pictures. It’s i. My fluval 13.5 and I didn’t scrape off the back side of it. You can kind of see it but they look like white webs all over the chamber in the back. Looks as if they’re keeping the chamber clean of detritus in the first one but the second chamber is a little...
Located in Portland Metro Area, Oregon
After years in the hobby, I have found myself with little time to dedicate to my tank. Mid-summer I broke the tank down, giving everything a vinegar bath before storing (putting everything away dry). Brand new, all items surpass a $3,200 purchase price. If...
Ok, so I am getting ready to finish my cycle in a fluval 13.5, and have a few questions. I just put some snails in and a tiger conch and they seem to be doing just fine; however my nitrites are not quite 0, but not .25 either.
1st: is it safe to put corals in with trace nitrites?
2nd: what...
I have a 9 gallon reef tank that I obsess over a bit too much. I have dumped way too much money into the thing (although I know I could do more if I had the space). I’ll try and keep this brief but basically I need some pointers getting to the next level with sps. Personally, I think my numbers...
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...
Just showing off my tank. Hope this could belong here... if not let me know.
My friend wanted a video to show his kid so figured why not post it here, too?
Here's what I have running:
-Fluval 13.5, stock filtration, stock lighting
-Have a laser cut media basket, haven't used it yet. waiting...
First dive in to saltwater, going slow since I'm still wrapping up summer projects. I just want it up before Christmas! Here goes nothing!
What I have or ordered so far:
Tank - Fluval Evo 13g, dang Petco sales make it too easy.
Sand - Carib Sea Special Grade - waiting
Rock - Carib Sea South...
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...
I have the fluval evo and am in the process of upgrading the filter. I have a protein skimmer in chamber 1 and got the InTank basket for chamber 2. I have chemi pure in the top, purigen in the middle and filter floss in the bottom. I’m still getting some particles in the water, so I’m wondering...
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...
So I have a 32 Gal Fluval Flex that has been running for about 9 months now. Recently, I had a couple Zoas and a GSP that have been closed up for a few days so I decided to test my water. The results were:
Ammonia: 0.0
Nitrite: 0.0
Nitrate 0.0 (checked twice w Hanna checker)
Phosphate:0.37...
I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing:
-0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand)
-16g magnesium (seachem dry)
Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet.
Can people recommend good/better brands?
Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef?
I feel like...
Ok so I want to upgrade the light on my Fluval Evo. Everything I read said that the AI Prime is the best light. But for me 200$ is a lot for a light. I found a few alternatives that I wanted to ask if anybody had experience with them. If you all don’t think any are adequate for my tank please...
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing a couple Intank Media Baskets for my Fluval Flex 32.5. I was wondering how everybody liked them? Do they work well with the stock pump as far a flow and everything. Also, what do your filter media set ups look like? Has anyone actually had luck with Macro Algae...
