The Fluval Evo 13.5 is my first reef tank and i’m really impressed with it so far. I decided I’m going to go with a little build progression/guide for people who might be Interested in this aquarium. I’ve done a few upgrades to the stock tank and I’ll go through them one by one down below. I...

I tend to bight off more than I can chew, but yolo haha. My wife and I started the conversation about moving to a larger tank this year, but wanted to wait until summer.
However, one day I was scouring Facebook Market Place and found one heck of a deal. A guy had a system he had in his garage...

After secretly reading along from time to time and after 2 tanks, decided to bother you all with the progress of my new tank.
For the ones who don't know me, here are pictures of my current tanks
Hey everyone! Decided to start one of these build threads to track the progress of my first tank as I go. Still cycling currently, doing a fishless cycle with ghost feeding and I added Fritz TurboStart. The TurboStart seems to be working fairly well, I never even saw a spike in ammonia levels...

The setup is, tank with an overflow box on the side, piped down to the sump, in the first section I have the pipe coming down from overflow into filter sock, with the pipe sitting above the water...
Hi fellow reefers!
I'm new here and thought I'd get a builder thread going to track and share my journey through this hobby. I had a 55G FOWLR about 14 years ago, and wow, have things ever changed!
Now that we are all spending so much more time at home I got re-inspired to start up this...

Good morning everyone. Been lurking for a couple weeks, learning what I can. Recent transplant to central Missouri. Started a new build with a 65g DT 20g sump. Homemade stand.
Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself real quick as I finally registered...after being a lurker for at least a few years! I always seem to end up here when I'm searching for something related to reef tanks. Currently have a Fluval Evo 13.5 thats been running for about a year and a half and a...
Hi guys,
I always wanted a saltwater tank since I was a kid but my dad said it was bad luck to have anything from the ocean in the house. I had forgotten about it until I came across the Fluval and realized that today things are much more advanced and cheaper than in the 80's and with the...
I am thinking of purchasing an L shaped tank! This thing is awesome and happens to replace my current 5’ tank perfectly with the bonus of the “L” Shape adding another dimension when you are in my fish room. It would end up being a 210 gallon mixed reef. For the price I think I am going to snag...

Hi Everyone,
So I thought I would start a build thread. I used to have freshwater tanks as a kid, then life happened. I always wanted to get a saltwater tank and I have been doing quite a bit of research for the past year or so. On Father's Day my 3 kids surprised me with a Waterbox 20. My...
