I love how the picture had 1 yellow tangs in it.
No, would not recommend. That small, good for maybe 1 clown.
Fluval Evo 13.5 only a little more, and is a classic starter tank. Very common in the nano scene, so lots of support and ideas for modding if you want to go that route. Also enough volume for reasonable space for a pair of ocellaris for a few years. Be sure you get them young.
Hey op. Just reading through your comments here and thought this tank might be a better start for you if you’re on a budget. Yellow tang is going to need a tank that’s around 100 gallons. Right now their prices have gone through the roof so it would suck to buy one and have it die. This tank is an all in one tank with a light that will be able to keep beginner corals. You can upgrade this later as you get comfortable with maintaining a reef tank.

It is smaller but if you keep your fish stocking light, you should have a good experience.
Hmm not sure you'll be able find a new tank with everything included and the light as well for that price range but you can find used sets for that price.

This one doesn't have the protein skimmer (not 100% necessary) and doesn't have a light. You'll be spending another few hundred for everything else if you decide to buy everything new
An employee at my LFS told me that the built-in light for the Fluval Sea Evo 13.5 was good enough for an anemone. Is that true? If it is not, can anyone recommend either a good starter kit and/or light for an anemone?
I'd look for a used AIO setup like a BioCube 29 or 32. There might be some black friday deals on new setups. This Fluval setup is cheap for a small tank, but don't expect to do much with it until you upgrade everything.
Hey there /r/Aquariums,
I used to have a great planted tank a few years ago, I ended up moving across country and sold the tank. I am looking to potentially buy a new one now, I loved Fluval's tank designs, they look super clean.
This tank that I found states that its for salt water only, and I can't figure out why it wouldn't be suitable for freshwater as well. (Someone asked the same question in the Amazon question area, and the seller simply responded with "no")
Am I missing something here? The tank in question: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2WI6PT/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Fluval Sea EVO 13.5 Gallon
Hello I am trying to find out if this tank would be suitable for a freshwater setup, I'm pretty new to this I only have one small 5 gallon tank currently. I basically can get the entire setup tank from a friend for dirt cheap(new in box). From my research all I can tell is that it is the light that makes it a salt water setup because it is brighter and more suitable for growing corals.
Can anyone give me some insight into whether or not this tank will work for a freshwater setup? Possibly with smoke corys or a school of Tiger Barbs.
Thanks!

If you want to keep it simple, you could run a fluval Evo 13.5 gallon.
https://www.amazon.com/Fluval-10531A1-SEA-Aquarium-13-5/dp/B01M2WI6PT
It includes a light that will grow most soft corals and a few easy lps. Comes with a return pump and some filter media.
That would be about $160
You should easily be able to find about 15 lbs of base rock or cured live rock for a decent price. $50
If you want substrate, Caribsea fiji pink will work. A 20lb bag is dirt cheap on Amazon. 20
Heater. 20
https://www.amazon.com/CaribSea-Arag-Alive-20-Pound-Fiji-Pink/dp/B00025YVGC
That puts you at around $230. Clowns are about $20 at your lfs, so let's say $40
$290 total. You can do it for cheaper or much much more if you choose. I used to own this tank and I loved it. You can modify it quite a bit if you want. I added a protein skimmer, media basket, media filter, and a new light to mine.
$159 on Amazon right now.

You could get this 13 gal instead Fluval Sea Evo Saltwater Fish Tank Aquarium Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2WI6PT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lOuDFbP5W6WK9 for cheaper. I haven't used it bit for a beginner it seems alright.
It's this tank and it has pretty much taken over the sand bed around the rock in the back left corner of the tank.
