Review: 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 desertcart 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.
Review: Filtración insuficiente, El filtro demasiado ruidoso. La curvatura de la tapa impide el uso de casi cualquier comedero El hueco que deja para el termostato es demasiado pequeño para la mayoría de ellos, solo los pequeños entran, aunque como alternativa, si no se usa skimmer, se puede usar ese hueco. Sin embargo lo peor es que los alevines de guppy se cuelan por las ranuras de filtración y se quedan encerrados constantemente.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi there! Is this reef come with a skimmer? If not, please provide info of a compatível one. Thank you.**
A: It does not come with a slimmer but if you search for Fluval evo 13.5 skimmer, it will pop up. I have the skimmer as well and purchased it sperately

**Q: Does this come with the protein skimmer?**
A: This tank does, but it's not the kind that uses bubbles. It's a simple plastic piece that comes in the kit that you attach to the water return. It causes the surface of the water to slope into the return thus skimming the surface. Fluval also made a protein skimmer that you can purchase separately that was built with this tank model in mind.

**Q: Could I use this as a terrarium?**
A: Yeah or you could get a glass box at Walmart

**Q: Power and light wise, what is the difference between the evo "v" marine and the spec v aquarium? i know the marine is slightly larger than the spec.**
A: The Fluval Evo V is designed for saltwater having a 11000K light and 3 stage filter, the spec V is for freshwater with a 7000k  light. So it depends on what you want to put in the tank.
