Hello all… long time reefer, first time build thread contributor. I guess this isn’t technically a “build” as it’s been up for a little over a year now… just thought it was time to get my badge!!!

Tré’s Fluval Evo 13.5:
-I removed the nasty foam pre-filter in the back first chamber and created my own system with chemipure and bio pellets. Every once in awhile, I’ll throw in a poly-filter to help polish the water and clean out any leftover food. I upgraded the return pump in the 3rd chamber to a Sicce 1.5 for better flow, and added a Hygger Nano Wavemaker to mix the currents up. The light included was def a no-no for me. I currently run the Nicrew Hyper Reef 50W LED and have had great growth success so far (Side note: there is no SPS in this system… I only stock LPS, softies, and a couple of nems). Water params remain stable with bi-weekly water changes at 25% and daily top-offs. I only dose AB+ once a week and target feed with ReefRoids and mysis or brine every other day.
