xCompact reef-ready performance for desks and counters
Don't let the 13.5-gallon footprint fool you. The Fluval Evo XII packs reef-capable performance into a compact glass aquarium that fits on a desk, bookshelf, or countertop. A bright 14000K LED delivers daylight-like illumination that helps bring out vivid coral color and supports routine health checks, all within a clean, modern silhouette.
The tank features a stylish honeycomb rear panel that conceals the filter compartment and water line, keeping the setup looking sleek while maintaining easy access for maintenance. The multifunctional canopy includes a convenient feed door for quick top-offs and feeding sessions without removing the cover.
Three-stage filtration for clearer water
The filtration system uses oversized mechanical, chemical, and biological media to support water quality in a compact footprint. In practice, this combination helps manage detritus and dissolved compounds, contributing to a more stable environment for livestock and small reef organisms.

The all-aluminum waterproof casing adds durability while preserving a slim, contemporary look. With dimensions of 22 inches by 11.5 inches by 15 inches and 16 watts of lighting delivering 1383 lumens, this kit balances visibility and efficiency.
