![]() Instructions: The tank comes with a full instruction sheet as well as a glossy, color, quick-start guide that covers some specific in’s and outs of saltwater aquariums.(1) sponge block, (1) bag of activated carbon, and (1) bag of Biomax (ceramic rings). Filter Media: There are three parts of the filter media.Return Nozzles: The return fittings (that send water back into the display tank) are made up of a bulkhead fitting (to pass through the pump section partition), a 1/2″ to 1/4″ loc-line ‘Wye’ fitting, a few 1/4″ loc-line segments, and (2) 1/4″ return nozzles.The pump comes with a hose to connect the outlet of the pump to the return nozzles. Pump: The pump is a 110v/1 phase (USA).LED Light: It has a separate AC to DC power brick.Hood: This comes in two components – a major section that covers the display part and a smaller section that covers the filter/pump sections.I will describe how the filter sections work and what they house a bit later. These three chambers are divided by vertical pieces of black plastic and each serves a different purpose. It also comes with three separate chambers in the rear that are separate from the ‘display’ section of the tank. The EVO AIO tank comes with a light and hood. All In One (AIO) means that, as much as possible, the necessary components of the aquarium are all included within the tank and exist inside one main aquarium housing (as opposed to larger aquariums that often house ‘life support’ equipment in a separate tank called a sump). The EVO is similar in layout and concept to other Fluval All In One aquariums (like the smaller Freshwater Spec V). I thought it would be a good time to give a review of this marine aquarium and go through the specifications, strengths / weaknesses, and my overall impressions. I’ve had this saltwater nano up and running for more than a year now. Core to this project is the tank, the Fluval EVO 13.5. ![]() I’ve documented my decision to get into saltwater and the setup of our EVO 13.5 in this series.
