Installing inTank Media Baskets in a Fluval Evo 13.5 Aquarium

This is a very good solution for what should be a simple filtering process. I'm a bit disappointed that Fluval seem to have made a real balls of a simple back sump so it's great when companies or individuals do something about it. The inserts aren't cheap but they will make a hell of a difference by making sure that water flows through filter correctly and filter can be set up with an appropriate amount of good porous filter media for best results. The most important part of any aquarium is the filtration so well done for making this one function properly. Groovy.

[@Phoenix-ug1rb]

I have a problem to where the filter sponge (which is in the first chamber) is slowing down the flow with causes my ATO system in the return chamber to pump unneeded water. This could be because of my Cyanobacteria problem that quickly blocks sponge but do you have any insight on this problem?

[@dsanford12]

There is a lot of area above the floss in chamber 2 , Doesn't the water go through the 3 slits directly across the top of the floss and right into the pump chamber , How much of it gets up to the top of chamber 2?

I was just about to comment and say that this is a very god system now but then I saw my comment below saying exactly that from over a year ago....my memory is shot.

[@kingjeffishere]

I had been out of the salt hobby for over 8 years, but I decided to creep back in with the Fluval so I ordered it a few days ago,along with their skimmer. However, after seeing this video & a few other guys reviewing your baskets, I guess I'm gonna start with your two baskets in lieu of the skimmer & see how it goes. Just ordered 5minutes ago, can't wait to everything comes so I can get going. Thanks again for a decent vid!

With both baskets installed, how is any water going to flow through the top two compartments in the center media basket? It looks like the water would come into chamber one, flow down and out the holes into the bottom section of chamber two, then out the bottom and into the return chamber. Unless I'm missing something it seems like you'd be better off with one of these media baskets or the other, having both seems counterproductive.

[@inTankLLC]

They are under water. If needed you can raise the level of chamber two by adding new water to ch2 or 3 while the filtration pump is on.

[@DJBLUES1]

@@inTankLLC Yes I understand that, but the flow from chamber 1 to chamber 2 would only pass through the lowest compartment of the middle basket which is far from ideal - but it's not your fault that Fluval designed the sump chamber so poorly...

[@inTankLLC]

@@DJBLUES1 It still flows through all 3 shelves. The bottom one will be more but since it is under water and the CH1 basket isn't sealed to the wall there still is flow.

This is actually cheaper than replacing the black sponge foam block monthly. That works out to 120 bucks a year, this is only 60 and the filter floss is 10 bucks a year with weekly floss changes. Not sure why anyone calls this expensive. Plus not having to ever touch and forcefully remove that nasty black sponge, I use to wring it out weekly and what came out was horrible, and also never having to remove it to get to your media.

If the water level is too low in that chamber of your aquarium you would add more to the chamber while the filtration pump is on to bring the level up.

[@svenhoeppermanns5629]

Hey , i'm interested in the chamber 2 media basket because i have the skimmer running in chamber 1. My concern is that the chamber 2 basket is not 4 sided, which means that the water will still get though all the slots between chamber 1 and 2, So the water is not actually forced from top to bottom. Or am i wrong somewhere?

[@inTankLLC]

Correct, because of the way Fluval designed this aquarium. If you wanted it to act like a chamber one Media Basket you could block off the lower slots in chamber one causing water to flow to the top of the chamber two basket. Overall the chamber two basket forces water to flow from the left to the right, and then down to the bottom.

[@svenhoeppermanns5629]

Thanks

[@williamrobinson4026]

Any thoughts on a "short" chamber 1 design that rests on flange Fluval build inside chamber 1? I purchased this basket about a month ago and my only issue is that when I load the bottom tray with ceramic media it sometimes (if at all) will not go down into the chamber because the flange inside the chamber tries to enter the basket hitting the media and jams up. If I could load the media in the camber then rest my basket on the internal flange I wouldn't have to worry about how much is to little or too much inside the bottom chamber. Since this area is a "passive" filtration at the bottom and water is not really forced through media in the lower chamber I was just thinking it could be an improvement around the design constraints of a weird filtration system from Fluval.

[@inTankLLC]

Our chamber two basket would be a better area for ceramic media. Just place in a mesh bag.

[@jesussavesrick]

I just ordered the chamber one basket. But wouldn't the stock sponge in the second chamber be a great way to "remove" nitrates by simply replacing every 3 months or so? With weekly rinsing in between of course.

[@inTankLLC]

In saltwater no. Sponges are dirty and can lead to nitrates. Just use filter floss on top of the Media Basket to catch detritus.

[@THunt-ss4hy]

My goodness such a quirky design. Not the baskets, the tanks chambers. If I had one, I think I’d try to use a floss holder like you make for the Nuvo Fusions. Leave all the slits open, and use the chamber two basket for media.

[@inTankLLC]

T. Hunt no kidding right. Fluval does some very dumb chamber design that keeps us trying to fix all of their mistakes.

[@biohazardshrimp]

Does it matter as far as effective filtration goes as to which chamber I decide to use? I bought the chamber 2 basket because that’s where the stock foam filter was.

[@inTankLLC]

Chamber one is a better location for a Media Basket as water hits it first, it also will catch detritus better as filter floss is up top right under the intake. But the chamber two basket can be used. At some point you may want to consider using the chamber two basket for biological media or macro algae. Then use the chamber one basket for filter floss and chemical media.

[@biohazardshrimp]

@@inTankLLC gotcha thank you

[@pamkonen8593]

I purchased the chamber #1 intank basket, however it does NOT help with surface skimming at all.....total film across the top of the water. I think a skimmer would help better than spending big bucks for your intank baskets.

I’m using media basket 1 with the stock Skimmer in chamber 2 - if I remove the Skimmer in chamber 2 and add media basket 2 as well, surely media basket 1 which is now blocking off the top slits on the tank will stop the flow into the top shelf’s in media basket 2?

[@inTankLLC]

Hey Gary - You can add water to the 2nd chamber while the pump is ON to bring up the water level. Make sure to plug the hole in chamber 2 if you have not already, we do now offer a plug kit and upgraded CH1 water director to help with this. Because of the dumb Fluval design with all the slots in the chamber one baffle it may take a little play balancing the rear chamber level with the display. But most our customer have a higher water level and the entire basket is under water. The Ch1 Basket does not have a water tight seal on those slits. If you really want to improve and put in the work block off all but the exit hole slits with a thin piece of plastic. I'd test my waters first and see how you like before doing this, it's more of an ultimate mod bringing the tank to a true AIO design. inTank you intankaquatics.com/fluval-evo-13-5-water-director-and-plug-kit/

@@jdo20100224 Thank you. Yes that can work. The top shelf may be out of water unless you add more, which will cause the display to raise as well so it all depends on how high you like the water levels at. If you have enough life rock in the display you can skip on the biological. Or use floss and chemi pure on the bottom and the rest biological .

@@inTankLLC Awesome. I am adding live rock soon to kick start the cycling process with Dr. Tims. Floss and the chemipure can be in the same chamber?
