I've been hearing a lot of talk about the fluvial evo 5 and I know it was slated to come out early this year, so does anyone know where to get one or if they are being sold?

Either the 5 or the 12* comes out in the fall of 2015 for the US the other one will be available in 2016.

Looks exactly like the spec V with a new top and lights.

Do you know if the pump is more powerful than the spec v? I am hoping it is so I can replace my spec v pump with the evo pump, assuming it will fit the spec v.

How do you like the light? Does it have enough blue light to make the coral colors pop? I may replace my spec 5 with this since my glass is a bit scratched and the cover is badly cracked.

The light appears adequate. My softies are doing well. There is no separate blues or whites so that's a bummer

I don't know if it is more powerful it is stated as 55-80 gal/ hour output. It has a decent flow to it

Thanks for the reply about the pump. Too bad the light doesn't have separate channels. I am considering going with the Orbit Marine LED as a replacement. I have one on my 20 long and it looks great. A million times better than my stock Spec V light.

When in doubt pretend you know. [emoji1] mind you I'm a professional and I found that to be such good advice I wrote it down and stuck it on my wall.[emoji24]

Looks nice! I like the black sand. Are you making any mods to it?

These are still not available in my area :( I don't think I have ever had to wait almost two years for something to be released after it was shown at MACNA. Very Frustrating. I have spoke to them and every time they seem to move the release date. I am up to Spring of this year now so I hope that one sticks.
