Lawnman Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well finally got the Elos mini and got it setup tonight.This started as a Biocube 29 in May of last year. I decided to go with the Elos mini because I was sick of looking at all the wires and black plastic.The icing on the cake was the sump to hide all the wires.Everything is stock at the moment except for a MP-10.I tossed the skimmer in the garbage and just kept the pump for a back up.The G-1 Maxspect 110watt light is really awesome and clean. Only thing I did not like about the fixture was no moonlights. I changed that with a little DIY moonlight. Now the G-2 fixture is out and has moonlights.The only thing I do not like about this tank is there is no place to put additives and supplies in the stand.I did research this tank alot and asked plenty of members questions. Sushi's thread was really helpful. I did the exact same thing he did with the sump. I removed a small glass divider to make the return chamber larger and flipped the tank 180 degrees. This puts the return chamber in the front and it has easy access.I have had no problems with micro bubbles and the overflow is whisper quiet. 15 Lbs of Fiji Live Rock from my old Bio Cube 29 and some small rubble pieces. 20 Lbs of Live Sand 5lbs of Fiji Pink dry sand My Dining room during the swap wife wanted to shoot me. My clowns chillin waiting for there new home. A few corals What a cloudy mess I will update tomorrow with more pictures and details.That is all I have for now. But the light fixture is SHAWEET.

nanoreef-R Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I had been waiting for this! Link to comment
Lawnman Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks I have put alot of thought into this one in the last year going back and fourth with ideas. Right now everything is just crammed into the sump until tomorrow when I get some more time and rest. Before the tank showed up I had the light so I put it on my biocube to get a few snap shots with just the blues. Still need to figure out how to take better pictures but you get the idea. Funny thing is they really glow that much under those blue LED's I am in wub with this fixture. Link to comment

cptbjorn Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think I saw one of those LED fixtures a couple days ago at a frag swap and thought to myself that it would be perfect over a cube, and I've drooled over an elos mini at my LFS on more than one occasion. You, sir, have done a proper setup Link to comment
