Evo XII Saltwater Aquarium Kit, 13.5 Gal. – Saltwater Fish Tank with Reef-Capable LED, Efficient 3-Stage Filtration and Seamlessly Integrated Hardware

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.

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.

Muy buen kit de acuario completo con su filtro y su luz especial para coral blando o duro de bajo requerimiento. La tapa es muy estética y es un bonito adorno para cualquier espacio

I love it! Great nano starter! I put in the recommended skimmer - works beautifully - crystal clear water 3 months in. The filter, the pump - great. Love ball nozzles, I managed to direct them around the central structure to create flow for my corals. Recommended heater though - um... It's a bit too tall for the compartment, so after trying it, I opted for a non-branded compact one which fits perfectly and does the job. And, BTW. You almost do not need the heater. If you have your lights on for 8+ hrs a day, they raise water temp by ~1F. So what I get is 77.6 when I switch the lights off, and 76.4 in the morning before I switch them on. The heater is set to kick in at 76.

attractive designs. good price. but the pump will need replacing because it is too weak and noisy
