  • Fluval EVO 13.5 did it!
Breathtaking nano reef from Fluval: the 3D peninsula, all included in one nano tank. Placed on the kitchen countertop, big enough desk or stand-alone stand, an aesthetic marine tank in your home. Hardcore Hobbyist experienced or not, and whatever your taste in the nano reef, this is a beautifully designed saltwater aquarium. And functional. Now the bad things targeting the newbies: The Fluval EVO 13.5 box comes with a recommendation, what type of fish and corals to have in this aquarium. Follow that, if you don't, and get excited for more fish, expensive ones, or want that awesome coral from the fish store this tank will end up crashing, losing the livestock, and sold for pennies at the garage sale. -This saltwater fish keeping hobby requires money and knowledge. No matter if is Fish Only or Reef -Whatever livestock you put inside your tank, treated like your beloved, dog, cat, snake, iguana, or tiger you keep as a pet. Fluval EVO 13.5 comes ready to set up right out of the box. You just need extra: Knowledge( cycling the tank, water quality, and temperature control), rocks (dead or alive), sand (not a must), marine salt, thermometer, heater, saltwater test kit, salinity test, extra wavemaker for improved water movement (not a must). Reverse Osmosis is a must!!!!. You need to prep saltwater for a new set up and future water changes and to refill evaporated saltwater with fresh R/O water. No way around. Get it cheaply in jars from a local store, buy a home system (in the long run, you have insurance, cheaper solution, you get to maintain control) whatever you do, freshwater from your house will not do it. The only biggest problem all nano tanks and bigger ones too ( the smaller the tank the fastest things go wrong) have is temperature control in the summertime. If your tank is going above 80 F you have to modify the outlook of your Fluval to be ready for summertime. Give up canopy, Cooling fans (water evaporation fast), different suspended lighting, your home ambient temperature no more than 78F for cooling fan to keep it under $80F. And all of this extra hardware, chosen carefully not to end up with an ugly Fluval EVO 13.5 tank on your home!!! The expensive route to keep the stock Fluval outlook is a Mini Chiller, not many on the market and the only one with some degree of effectiveness and aesthetics is this one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Chill-Solutions-11415-Thermoelectric-Aquarium/dp/B00JY6UJB6/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Chill+Solutions&qid=1588560696&sr=8-1. On this chiller, the maker is out of stock, the dedicated marine sites out of stock., Amazon has it for $50 more than the market and without tubing and the right pump. Yes, you need to have the right pump and the tubing to fit inside the Fluval filtration chamber in order for this chiller to work. Sorry for the bad news. ... show more

  • The Perfect Beginner Saltwater Tank
The Fluval 13.5 gallon saltwater tank kit is the perfect setup for any beginner saltwater enthusiast. Out of the box you'll have everything you need to get started, including a powerful LED that can sustain some hardy corals and a pump that's quiet and effective. The filtration media that comes with the tank is enough to get you started, although you'll be better served to upgrade it as you start adding livestock. I'd highly recommend you purchase this tank with the following items in your shopping cart: - A 150W heater: this tank doesn't come with one, and although the heater is oversized, it will ensure a stable temperature. - A pump: saltwater tanks thrive when there's good circulation. - Live sand: you can buy a bag of live sand on Amazon. I put 20lbs in mine for a 2.5" deep sandbed. - Live rock: you'll need to pick this up at your local fish store (LFS). - A Saltwater Test kit: for monitoring parameters and ensuring your tank has cycled. By using live rock and sand, you'll be able to cycle this tank within 3-4 weeks. Once established, weekly water changes are recommended considering the tank doesn't have a refugium and it's a small body of water. I'm keeping 2 Clownfish, 1 Watchman Gobi, a bubble-tip anemone, a peppermint shrimp, some hermit crabs, emerald crabs, turbo snails, zoanthid corals and 1 pincushion toadstool coral in this tank and they're all doing really well. ... show more

  • Good starter and nano tank Good starter and nano tank
Great setup for a beginner nano tank. Stock equipment can sustain live fish and soft corals. Return pump could be a bit stronger but is sufficient. I added a fluval nano light and removed the hood. I also added a jebao SW-2 Nano power head, the fish live it, so do my softies. If you can, plug the hole they left in the wall. The domino I had in the tank to start the nitrogen cycle get freaked out and swam into it, which damaged it and it died as a result. They sell inserts to make it more like a sump but it’s not necessary. I keep a 2-3 in sand bed. Arragonite sand and a caribsea live sand starter pack are what I used. Get some live rock from an LFS and seed your tank with it. Adding the protein skimmer isn’t required but it does pull out some of the organic material from the water column which has increased the clarity of water and stability of tank parameters. I added small bioballs to the last chamber to increase biological filtration and that has worked very well. You should also fit a second bag of ceramic along with the one provided so you can switch a new one in for an old one around 3-6 months Make sure to push the middle chamber sponge pack so it’s submerged each time you clean it out (with water changes, in the waste salt water… not tap water) Purchase a box or two of carbon filter bags and switch out monthly. Return pump impeller and sponge can get gunked up so make sure to clean it regularly. Don’t worry about sand/detritus on the bottom of the sump chambers, shake it up when you do monthly deep cleans. Over all great tank for home or office. Could also serve as a great qt or sump if you upgraded to a larger tank. ... show more

  • Awesome starter nano tank
I looked around for a while at several different tanks before deciding on the Fluval EVO 13.5 gallon tank. The first one arrived shattered but Amazon as usual made the return very easy and luckily the second tank arrived in good condition. The first thing I have to say is I love the way this tank looks, Fluval choosing to use a built in pedestal on the bottom to raise the tank up some makes a big difference. If you look online you will see there are tons of modifications that people are making to this tank and I made a few myself. I upgraded the return pump to increase the flow from 135 gph to 185 gph and I added a Hydor Koralia 240 nano circulation pump. The only other modification I made was to add an intank media basket to replace the foam filter that comes with it but there are several folks who have used it with no issues. I started with live sand and base rock then used nutri seawater in lieu of mixing up my own since it was such a small amount. I cycled the tank for 4-5 weeks before I added a clownfish and several weeks and more inhabitants later everyone is doing fine. I basically do a one gallon a week water change and replace the filter floss then once a month I replace the phosgen and every two months replace the chemipure blue nano packets. Following this routine has made things pretty simple and I will start all my future tanks the same way. If you're looking for a saltwater tank and aren't sure if the hobby is for you this is a great way to test the water, no pun intended. Yes, nano tanks are more susceptible to bad water conditions killing your fish because of the small volume of water but if you follow a routine maintenance schedule you should be fine. ... show more

  • EVO XII Unboxed EVO XII Unboxed
This review is based on the consideration that I was not adding water for several days in any case but on a dry fit of equipment. This arrived a little over 24 hours ago and I will update as a resolution comes. Packaging was solid, the actual product is boxed in a printed cardboard box and well protected, this is further encased in another cardboard box that is slightly larger and offers protection to the printed container, mostly from errant box cutters. This second box is further packaged in another larger box with foam corner protection/suspension such that there are 'shock absorbers' on all 8 points of the inner container. All in all it is packaged very well. Unboxing the inner package, with the tank itself was not difficult. The innermost, printed box contains the tank and parts, again suspended on foam blocks with additional foam protection for the glass/fragile parts, and additionally the entire assembly was in a plastic bag. All pieces were accounted for. Upon closer inspection during a dry-fit of components it was found that the tube-bib leading from the return pump had been snapped off the threaded section (picture 1). This is a minor issue corrected immediately with superglue but indicative a shipping issue - the smaller diameter bib which is shipped loose (not screwed into the pump) arrived whole as expected. The most serious issue thus far is the light bar. It started to malfunction immediately upon being plugged in. No amount of attempting to activate the controlling button would change the mode of the light. Indeed the light did not illuminate at all but only flashed as seen in the video. Even upon unplug and restart it does not return to daylight setting but only this flashing. The tank itself is wonderful. I am especially fond of the raised base. The equipment bay is not large enough for an Aquatic Life 115 skimmer despite the claims on that product's reviews however it will only take a few minor modifications to make it work. It would be most appropriate to locate the skimmer in bay 2 and that requires further mods and usually the removal of the equipment bay lid. This should not be an issue even with jumpers but I cannot be sure unless I can get this setup working successfully. Bottom line is ~28 hours after receipt this is one star. I could not put water in it as shipped because the return pump was compromised. This means cycling the tank is cycling the tank is likewise compromised or at least seriously impeded. Most important though is the lighting issue. The benefit of an AIO is the convenience of not having to supply lighting as an external component. Thus far trying to get support has only led me a link directly to the supplier's website. I was not able to register my purchase for warranty at this website and my request for assistance there is pending. I was not at all impressed with their online market space or my ability to address this issue. My dissatisfaction is extended to Amazon as a whole as they are listed as the supplier (despite Hagen being the ultimate supplier). We will see what tomorrow brings. Update: I spoke to a gentleman in customer service named Julio this afternoon. It took less than 10 minutes to get a new light bar shipped out. The longest delay was my downloading invoice. Great customer service experience. ... show more

  • Tank cracks! Don't buy!
Do NOT buy!!! Tank bottom cracked overtime and leaked water and all my fish died. I had this tank for about 1 month. Was on a sturdy kitchen counter and some how the bottom spontaneous cracked and started to leak. No contact to rank. The company had a warranty process that made me take a whole bunch of photos and after doing everything they said they couldnt determine how it cracked. They said they couldnt refund or replace the tank. They wasted my time with all the photos. You can search online and I am NOT the only one to report this issue. I have no idea how it cracked but it did and at the cross beam area. This company doesnt stand by their tanks so if something else was wrong I doubt they would replace or refund. ... show more

  • Have had rock flower anemones spawn and reproduce in this tank. Have had rock flower anemones spawn and reproduce in this tank.
Moving down in size from a 75 gal. reef tank that I had running for 5+ years. I took a hiatus and decided to come back to reef keeping with a smaller tank. The Fluval Sea Evo has worked out great with the upgrades I've made. I don't use the lid or light that the tank came with. I'm running an AI Prime for lighting, and use an InTank media chamber in chamber 1. I also have a Bubble Magus hang on the back skimmer {which does a fantastic job without looking obnoxious in the tank). I also upgraded the pump and nozzle for better flow. The tank has been running great for the 3 months it's been running. I'm even planning to add a couple SPS corals this week. Update: Highly recommend this tank. You can't go wrong for the price. Update The 2nd pic of the tank is 3 years since setup. Frogspawn torch is now taking over the lover right 3rd of the tank. Many sps and zoas are doing maybe a little too well. 3 years down the line I would have to say that this little tank was well designed. You just might have to tweak it a bit to achieve your reefing goals. Overall I would have to say that this is an awesome nano tank, and you can't beat this price for an AIO reef tank. ... show more
