Minmay Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hello everyone, im an all around newbie. I ordered my first saltwater tank. Its Fluval Evo 13.5g. I know, I know, Bigger is better especially for a newbie but I live on the 2nd floor apartment building (above the onsite manager) I dont think she would appreciate if her ceiling fell on her. Anyway, I've been doing research for months now. Instead of the stock media filter that tank comes with, Id like to use Chemi-pure elite, seachem purigen, filter floss. My question is do i use the foam that the tank comes with or am i suppose to buy somethng else? Sorry im sure its a silly question. Thank u for taking the time to read this. Link to comment
mogul218 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Check out the inTank media shelf. I got one for my Spec III and it will help with what you're looking to do. I believe it fits your 13.5 gallon EVO as well! Good luck! Link to comment

InTank is still designing the media rack for the 13.5 so no I don't think this would fit. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That media rack will not fit but you can make your own out of eggcrates. Link to comment
Minmay Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks u guys. Do you think maybe a filter sock? Egg crate? Like what eggs come in? Link to comment
dandelion Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 No egg crates like the light diffuser they sell at home depot Link to comment
Minmay Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 O ok! I need to go to home depot today anyways. Thanks! Link to comment
dandelion Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I ended up putting mine together like this. Note the slot on the right for filter pads. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w391/yhchan/Petco_625_Arc/6CCB0314-C089-4E95-8A13-C4ABE5B329D8_zpstbnrkj4o.jpg[/IMG] 4 minutes ago, Minmay said: O ok!
