Hey guys so I’ve had this skimmer for almost two months now and I legit can’t figure out my issue with it, it constantly makes micro bubbles in my tank still and the skimmer itself is legit impossible to ever dial in, it either has a zero or 100 mode where the bubbles just come non stop filling...

Slow day at work so I figured I would finally write up a build thread to document and show my progress. I started back in March this year when someone gifted me an Evo 13.5 boy what a rabbit hole I have fallen down since then. I have taken care of freshwater fish in the past, but marine is...

Hey guys in a few months my family is going on a 9 day vacation, I have a 13.5 gallon evo and was wondering what do I need to get for it while on vacation aside from a timer for lights and an automatic fish food feeder, with my freshwater tanks going on vacation for two weeks was always nothing...

Hey guys I have a fluval 13.5 gallon ive set it up with live rock, live sand, etc keep it at about 78 degrees and salinity at 1.025 sometimes 1.026 as I’m still figuring out how to use my salinity measuring tools correctly. the tank has been stable so I’ve introduced a few snails here and there...

Hello guys I have zero idea how a skimmer works or if I even need a skimmer, I’m setting a 13.5 gallon tank (the evo) and I got this fluval skimmer with it(I don’t even know what it does) do I need to use it? What’s the purpose of a skimmer? I briefly tried to read on it and is it suppose to...

So I've been in the hobby for 3 years, I have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been very successful. I recently started up a 13.5 fluval evo nano, I used all established live rock from my 90 gallon system sump. The tank inhabits 2 clowns, an urchin and a narcissus snail, plus a few zoa frags...

I began my reef hobby nearly 6 months ago with a 13.5 Fluval EVO, and I've had great luck with it thus far (knocking on all the wood available). So far the only major problem I have encountered was a salinity spike that nearly killed my hammer (Beginner mistake- I relied on a cheap hydrometer)...

Best way to sell a 5 gallon tank??

Hi I'm looking for some advice, tips and recommendations. I've been looking for a while now at starting a salt water nano reef tank. After reading many forum posts, youtube videos and chats with a few shops, i think i'm ready to start. Just want to post below the equipment i've settled on, if...

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...

I have a saltwater aquarium in my classroom that I inherited. it is a small 25 gallon nano with a nano Fluval light. I want to know what the best light settings are for it. I attached what I currently have, it’s a pre set. I am planning to do some clown fish and sea anemones. Anything...

Hello! If you were choosing between Fluval Marine LED light or Current USA Orbit Marine, which would you choose? Price is about the same. I was going to go with USA orbit but it looks like it maxes at 8,000k? Fluval maxes at 25,000k. Thank you!! Fluval Sea Marine 3.0 LED Aquarium Lighting...

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?

Hello everyone, I bought my first saltwater aquarium 1 month ago. It is 30 gallons and is 12 inches deep. It is fitted with 2 Fluval nano marine 3.0 (20Watt). I am at the end of the cycle period and want to start with the first corals (Softies). Does anyone know the best light settings in...

I’m a little lost with lighting schedules. Please show me how you are running your lights. Thanks!

I have a 1.5 year old reef tank setup in a 29gal bowfront. I have a Fluval Sea 3.0 ( or 2.0…?) that I’ve had since it’s beginning. Coral growth is slow and I’ve had some corals not thrive. We added a skimmer this year and it’s helped but I’d like to branch out to montipora and other sps but I...

Here to show off! Set up this 5 gallon AIO on Tuesday, the star of the show is meant to be the macroalgae, however, it is seemingly pretty sparse. Just wait for it to fill in! There's a lot of halimeda opuntia that I trimmed down to nubs before deciding to use the left rock in this tank, so I'll...

Im looking for a 3d printed media box with 3 chambers similar to the in tank media box, hopefully at a cheaper cost! Fluval Evo 5 Sea

Hi all, Just a quick one. I am looking at modifying an old tank and the first thing that popped into my head is the Impeller. I have removed it from the filter but how can I tell if it is Ceramic or Mild Steel? I would need a Ceramic one to prevent rusting from salt water. Even the...

After having lurked on several forums for over five years I finally got an amazing deal on a tank I should have bit the bullet on a long time ago. The plan is to have a pretty simple fish only tank at first until I upgrade the lights. Eventually I know I’m going to get coral. I’m not expecting a...

Hello everyone!! I hope your holidays were very merry and bright. I have made my return some of you may remember me as "AndysReef" I joined back in 2016 and took a break in 2018. I am now a sophomore and college and during this pandemic and my winter break, I decided to come back tp the hobby...

I have a 15 gallon complete set fluval tank that I only used for a short amount of time. This would be a greater starter tank for someone just starting or just want to use it to keep corals in. I'm asking $140 shipped for the tank and comes in original box and everything. The price is negotiable...

Hello all, wanted to post some progress photos. Finally got everything so I could start building. This is my first time doing a nano and so far its alot of fun. I used Marco Rocks because I wanted to try something different and plan on making this a no hitchiker/no ich tank. Say what you will...
