A while ago I decided to make a refugium in one of the chambers on my Fluval Evo 13.5g, so I ordered a set of chamber inserts on Etsy. I ordered this specific one because it routes the flow through the entirety of each chamber as seen in the first pic, but I feel like I’m getting scammed at this...
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...
Hi all,
I have a biocube 32 with the coralife protein skimmer. I recently upgraded the media basket to the intank one that fits biocube 32s. I was curious to if anyone else has done this and what they've done to fit the coralife protein skimmer and the intank media basket so that both work...
Hello there!
My wife and I are expecting our first child in the beginning of March and we've decided to turn an old Coralife Biocube 14 a friend gave me into his first tank and night light for the nursery. I have had several FOWLR tanks over the years (including a LED Biocube 32 currently in my...
Take it easy on me…my first reef tank :)
Im only two months in, and started with the standard Fluval EVO 13.5, some live sand and rock. After my cycle added some CUC and my fish (the Royal Gramma didn’t make it unfortunately).
Current livestock;

Hey all, so currently I have a Red Sea Max E 170. I absolutely love the tank, however my only issue is with the filter media tray. As others Im sure have pointed out, the water flows from the bottom up through the media tray (which isnt my favorite, nor a convenient design for weekly...
Hello, brand new to the forum and about to make a purchase for my first saltwater reef tank. Due to space limits I’ll be going with the Fluval EVO 5 gallon tank. Likely will be just soft corals and inverts. Maybe a goby but not for a while until I get better at it.
Question I have is I’m...
What's up everyone!
I had a nano reef Biocube 14 gallon back in college but now that I am settled (& have more cash) I am getting back into the hobby! I am by no means an expert so all constructive criticism and advise is welcome. There isn't much material out there regarding the Waterbox 50.3...
Hello all,
I am looking into upgrading the stock filtration on my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have been running the stock system for around 1.5 years and I am not seeing the kind of results I would like to. I believe there are too many nutrients building up in the stock sponge. Here is the diagram of...
This isn’t my first rodeo with saltwater. I left the hobby a few years ago. However, my love for saltwater aquariums has returned! I’m excited to begin a all new journey with new plans and goals. The hobby has grown quite a bit since my 29gal biocube In 2015. With all of the new gadgets coming...
Hi, thought I'd post about my first tank. I have a fluval 32.5 gallon reef tank with 2 clownfish, Midas blenny, purple firefish and a cleaner shrimp. my tanks been running for about 4 months now. I have a couple hammer corals and 1 flame BTA and A pink goniopora. everything is going good so far...
Most of the builds I've seen seem to either have the fuge + media basket or media basket +skimmer. Is it possible to run both, with the skimmer in chamber one and the fuge and media basket in chamber two?
This is how I I currently have my filter media set should the Biological ceramic rings go First or last? I also have have space on chamber 1 to let it sit there before the filtration if I can get some feedback thanks.
I have a Biocube 32g i replaced stock filter with intank media and intank refugium

Hello all I decided to break down my nano so I could focus more on my 50 cube. Local pickup for everything listed $350 negotiable . It’s only been up and running 6 months. I will part out and ship everything but the tank if the price is right. It’s a great value the tank and ATO alone I paid...

This is for anyone that owns a Fluval Evo 13.5 and purchased an intank media basket for chamber one.
So if you bought the intank media basket for chamber 1 and you install it , you notice that water doesn’t run inside the media basket correctly. When I installed mine , It bothered me that 100%...
