Fluval Evo Saltwater Startup

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hope to have water in by Wednesday/Thursday but the rock scape is done. Preparing mentally for the RO to take forever but also wanna do things right the first time around so no more rushing.. stax rocks btw are super helpful in creating overhangs. That glue/accelerator are a nasty combination and you have to be careful, must’ve mixed on my glove by accident and burned right throw into my finger taking off two layers of skin - kind of unbelievable!

And yes I’m aware I made a fleet of battle star galactica’s and no that wasn’t the plan!

I ordered 55lbs of shelf rock btw with 20lbs of stax, I specially asked for thin shelf rock (less than 2 inches thick” and between 10-16 inches long. I got 4 very large pieces and ended up breaking one into two that didn’t really end up working out. It’s hard to judge how much rock you need or are getting until you see it but I’d say things worked out. I didn’t want to end up with thick chunks of shelf so I took what they gave and tried to make something a little different out of it, I was going to do some of the more typical shelf work you see on google
 
Here’s a pic of mine:

I’ve recently decided that I will be tearing it down… so I can upgrade to a 40 Breeder!
I’ll probably save the fluval for qt and later a wenerrae mantis!
