Newstead Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I have to stop looking at this tank - makes me want to start up my old fluval5 again, and I don't need 3 tanks going! Just beautiful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Gourami Swami Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This tank looks great! I want an anemone, but I like things staying where I put them. I see you're having issues with that with your nem, maybe I will have to avoid them. In such a small tank there is limited real estate already without corals deciding they all want the best spot 1 Quote Link to comment

I can always remove the other corals and put them in my other 2 tanks. He only moved when I changed lights. 3 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 I decided to shut down this tank. Having 3 reefs, plus my FW was just too much work right now with my life. I took all the anemones and made my 10g into an anemone tank, any corals that we really loved are in my lagoon, the blenny is in the 10g, the rest was sold. 1 Quote Link to comment
Firefish15 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hm, bummer. This was a cool tank. As Dr. Malcolm put it, "Life, uh, finds a way." Quote Link to comment

Thank you but it all got transferred to the 10g. The 5g was just not enough room for the anemone tank I REALLY wanted...If i had a house who knows how many tanks I'd have! 2 Quote Link to comment
Mitch's Fishes Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Clown- this thread has been very helpful as I set up a Fluval Evo V, and the tank was looked great when you had it running. I loved your DIY media basket, I think I am going to try that out. I'm struggling with finding a reliable heateing solution and an autotop off. Did you run the aqueon pro heater the whole time you had it set up? Did it fit in the pump chamber? What was the wattage on it and did it keep a pretty stable temp? And were you running an ATO? Lol sorry for all the questions but this is one of the best looking spec/evo V's I've seen and I'd like to replicate your success. Quote Link to comment

I upgraded the pump to an aqueon 600, needed minor mods to fit. I ran the aqueon pro the whole time but in the first chamber. I didn't use an ato. I recommend upgrading pump and getting the rfg nozzles from VCA, flow in this tank can be tricky 1 Quote Link to comment

So did the media basket not take up the whole first chamber which allowed for the heater to fit? Quote Link to comment

I made the media basket to leave room in the first chamber for the heater, I then used the old IM media basket which fit in there allowing the heater to stay in place. I don't use an ATO, only manual top ups so keeping the heater in the chamber with the pump is dangerous and I didn't want to keep the heater in the display. 1 Quote Link to comment
