Great honest review! I just bought this tank and I found this tank to be easy to set up and put it all together.
I just picked one of these up. so far I love it! It looks very sleek and clean. Definitely a quality product
The aquascape is amazing!! It look from a beautiful and well stablished aquarium.
Love the way the filter setup is and the protein skimmer fit
Thank you so much to take the time to show us how the fluval reef tank work's! I know what I'm having for CHRISTMAS now lol. Thanks again buddy 😁
Wow!! This is actually a great looking little tank!!! Now I want one!!! The light looks to have the on off button from the planted 2.0 light they make
great vid! give that skimmer time wont really work much until their is a bio load or food introduced.
thanks so much for a great video. very informational and helps me make my decision on which tank to get.
Gonna look nice, good looking tank lots of luck to you
great then you will be my go to guy, would love to be a support to your channel. Thanks John, really looking forward to working with you.
Thanks for this. Am gonna start a Nano shrimp tank with a goby or 2 and this will work perfectly
Looks like an awesome all in 1 system!
Hi John, cant wait for next installment First fish
Awesome video sir!
Welcome to Reefing!
Great video as far as the lights go is there a way to program them?
Hey John, I haven't read through all the comments but for optimum performance of a protein skimmer you want it towards the huge concentration of bubbles are barely making it up body of the skimmer and only brown bubbles are making it to the collection cup. Also your salt should contain enough calcium and trace elements that you shouldn't need any other supplements until you get that tank packed with corals.
really getting to like your videos !!!!
Is the feeding slot on top always open? Is there a cover that can be put on it?
think i just figured out what i want for christmas. cant wait to tell the wife, i can hear her now, another one. haha good luck. cant wait to c this tank cycled
Ha ha! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!!
I have a question about the EVO 13.5. Did you find the stock pump provides enough water movement? Many of the videos I see on the web have added extra circulation pumps. Any thoughts?
About to order one!
I want this tank so badly but for a freshwater setup with live plants. Would the lights be appropriate or would they be too bright/harsh?
Karagen wants one of these.
Where can I find the protein skimmer for online order? Thanks for the video!
Doing nano reef tanks now eh? Awesome! I've been doing nano reefs since 2006.
Looking good John. As far as the protein skimmer i always turn the air all the way up and adjust the water flow so that it doesn't flood the collection cup. You want through bubbles in the neck of the cup to be as low in the chamber as possible and over time larger bubbles will form and spill out as the skim u are looking for. It does take a few days to break in though, usually once the skimmer stops spewing micro bubbles into the tank it is broken in.
Thanks WF!!
is turning it up clock wise or counter clock wise, they don't say
I got this tank a few months ago as my first reef after having over 20 freshwater tanks and I'm still in love with this kit a few months later and it's now home to my two clowns and fire shrimp. I'm looking at coral and anemones but not sure what coral/anemones I could get with the lights the tank comes with
You might wanna watch my live show this coming Thursday night, I'll have a very special guest on and that's exactly what we're gonna be talking about "first corals".
FinleyGaming is this tank quite or Does it make a lot of noise
I recently received my tank after a month of waiting and as soon as I was getting ready to put it all together I noticed that my led light is defective. It didn't come with the medal pin connector that goes connected to the power supply:( I tried connecting another power supply that has the pin then the led lights turn on, but started to flicker... hopefully they have good customer service team...
turning skimmer all the way up as recommended is that clockwise or counter clockwise. they don't say
Can't find the video of when you went to get the rock in Richmond VA I live close to there and would like to know what one you went to
Any long term feedback on this system? My daughter is turning 11 and wants her own first tank...and she wants to keep a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish. A local store has a few of these in stock and I'm thinking it might be better than setting her up with a light, filter, powerhead, etc...for a 20g or something. Any input would be most appreciated...
Great video..your friend "CHRIS THE HOBBY GUY''
i have the same tank and the air pump makes so much noise. Do you know why it may do that and how to fix it.
Just brought it mine has a heater do I need to use it?
Where did you buy it from that you got the free stuff too? Can't seem to buy it on the website
what heater did you use?
Best friend John
is the filter and the skimmer quiet??
is there any way to automate the light cycle to where it turns just the blue lights on at dawn an dusk between the normal lighting period and the off periods? i.e. 8-9am blue lights; 9am-5pm full lights; 5-6pm blues; 6pm-8am off?
Joshua Wang nope
John, where did you get your Fluval Evo 13 at, I can't seem to find one local or online. I'd like this tank to be my first trip in to the salt world.
I got mine direct from Fluval but there are a few websites that have them for sale, you just gotta dig around. Just Google Fluval EVO, you'll find em:-)
Hey John, I am a big fan. Are you going to Chicago Aquatic experience next month? If you are, I would love to meet you there.
Unfortunately no, not this year:-(
Can this be used as fresh water tank?
can i use this as a Quarantine tank?
How do you maintain this tank?
if it's a reef with rock, you won't need the bio rings I would swap that out for chemipure elite, once you have rock in your biological with live in the rock making it live rock, it will give you better filtration in your sump, anyway good luck thanks for sharing friend and happy reefing.
What model is the skimmer ?
Is it quiet ?
usually, provided you don't put the pump too close to the glass or separator.
I've had to upgrade the pump and light on my evo.
Russell The Fish Guy hi can this be used as a quarantined tank?
MermaidPrincess I don't see why not.
Russell The Fish Guy ok cool thanks
I love your channel!! I have the same Aquarium!! However, it has a Flaw. The water flows horizontally through the media. Not vertically from top to bottom and into chamber 3. So not all the water reaches all the media before reaching chamber 3. Checkout the Reef Mechanic Channel on TH-cam I learn a lot from you and him. Keep Up the Great Videos!! Go KGTropicals!!
The heater they recommend for it doesn't fit like the box shows. It's too long
Uhohhotdog Gaming yup. Had the same issue
Nice i,m going to get one, maybe keep some seahorses.That should be pretty nice. Keep up the good work John😎.
Fluvel makes the same kit with the skimmer and the heater it's 100. Dollars more
nice
You roped me in i plunked down the money on this 13.5 going cold turkey .
yes i have a salt tank family member so i won't be flying totally blind .
we could not find it locally so we praying a lot on shipper now ..
Melain Kinney I only paid 15$ for shipping? so total 215.00$ CAD
Doctor Foster it was free shipping for me its a nice little 12 gallon tank we placed a court jester goby and Pink Spotted Goby and a shrimp mate we have kept it very simple because it is after all just a 12 gallon tank .But now i have a itch to get a full 30 gallon tank set next to it my stand is big enough i can run both tanks side by side
I'm doing to opposite ahha I have a 100 gallon and want to annemo only tank so they don't sting my corals!
Ahh all the best and happy reefing :)
Hi, Fellow Canadian here, where did you purchase this tank for $215 Canadian?
Krakens aquarium
designed specifically
Can you let me know the internal dimensions of the display tank please? I'm trying to plan my rock work before i get one. Thanks - Keep up the great videos
💙💙
Im 7 years late ,but do you still do saltwater
I currently have a 240 saltwater tank 🙂
Nice little tank. To small for me. Am not into nano tanks but it's still a nice tank.
Is the all blue light a night time light
Chris R. yes
Not for the whole night turn it off when you go to bed so the tank gets a night cycle.
What are you planning for your first coral?
I'm hoping to figure that out on this weeks Tank Talk Live when I have a special guest on:-) 8 PM EST Thursday.
On my Spec V, I scrapped the "built in sump" and hooked up my own sump to the system.
well i had one flop with the evo but fluval had our back the led light would not shut off or switch light mode . Fluval sent us a free replacement and power adapter . after receive the new light we were able to determine it was the light itself . the protein skimmer must not over fill the tank or the skimmer tend to fill up very very rapidly . were new to reef tanks we are having success now at the 3 month point. we cant wait to order corals from tidal gardens since were in ohio we want buy locally
Could you possibly use this system for freshwater?
If you really wanted to you probably could. I don't own this aquarium, but it's really made specifically for a reef setup. It has lighting that is pretty specific to reef aquariums with coral; the filter creates a very, very, high amount of flow, far too much for freshwater fish...this may be adjustable but it would still be pretty high and could be high enough to blow your fish around and really stress them out. So judging by that, and the price of the aquarium I would recommend against using it for freshwater. Fluval does however make a similar style for freshwater, its called the spec, I would look into that. But I also got a cheap petsmart aquarium that has a built in, intergrated filtration system, with touch sensor LED and glass canopy its 5.5 gallons, I only paid under 35 dollars when it was on sale, but I must say I'm really happy with it so far I've had it probably a year now without any real complaints.
Ben Lautermilch for sure YESS it would be over kill for any freshwater tank
I'm willing to bet they didn't add a heater because a faulty one will crash an entire tank. Can't say I blame em'!
Saving up for a 300 litre tank will be using your vids to get into Africa's, having a clue about them.
Awesome!! You should definitely post videos of your tank once it's set up:-)
i will indeed, i have 3 planted aquariums at the moment but always wanted cichlids ever since i seen my teachers frontosa tank when i was younger.
Which way do you turn the air and water to increase and decrease the amount of air and water level. Instructions do 't say. Please HELP!!!
Get a firefish
Stay far far away silicon split at side in less then 6 months and fluval will not honor warranty
