Fluval EVO 13.5 Saltwater Nano Aquarium Review - Spec-Tanks
Fluval EVO 13.5 Saltwater Nano is a great AIO Marine Aquarium. This review will provide all specs and my long term experiences with this tank.spec-tanks.com
They do a break down of the PAR from the stock light.
100 par on the sand is absolutely fine for LPS/Softies.
200 PAR center/rocks is even enough for SPS -- you could easily put some montipora, stylophora, or birdsnest corals along the top/center of your rocks.
This is a hobby where it is super easy to write off failures to equipment deficiencies, but it is usually an excuse.
If I had that tank, I'd be building out a softy/lps tank. Nice toadstool leather, some mushrooms, euphyllia (frogspawn etc).
If you are going to start upgrading lights, etc. You might as well not have bought the tank in the first place.
This is coming from someone with a RSM 250 that I've fully replaced absolutely everything on -- so a lot of do as I say, not as I did advice haha.
Yes, those are good numbers... if they are true. I'm skeptical when they come from the manufacturer.
