got2envy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Very nice so far! I like the set up alot you are patient lol Link to comment
Tony Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have been itching to set it up since I got it. The idea was that since I was looking to buy a house I had to get the tank right away otherwise I would never buy it after buying the house. A few months later a one month escro followed by painting and updating the place a little bit and then the Holidays came not leaving me much time to finish the stand or the money to complete the tank untill now.

Kigs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I really like the rockscape - almost touching, but not. Why the extra powerhead by the overflow? I run a same system w/ mp40w and it was plenty, if not too much, of flow for the tank dimensions. Link to comment
Tony Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 If I had the MP40 thats all I would use but I sadly bought the MP20 which is good but too weak for this size tank. Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 If I had the MP40 thats all I would use but I sadly bought the MP20 which is good but too weak for this size tank. Well the good thing is you can always upgrade to the mp40 version. Its just a driver upgrade so you dont actually have to buy a new pump. I believe its about $100 or so... Beautiful tank btw Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 How many days worth of skimmate is in that collection cup? Looks impressive. Link to comment
Tony Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 It was a few days. It is in the new tanks sump now but since the rock is already cured and I only added about 20lb's of new live sand and there are no corals or fish I'm not getting anything right now. Link to comment

stan Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hey Tony! Awesome Tank! Glad to see it finally with water inside. I think i got a BTA for ya! Link to comment
divecj5 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looks like an Undata on the right but is the branching piece on the left part of the same coral? Stunner for sure. Link to comment
Tony Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 A milli encruted to the same rock as the Undata. I suppose they have been that way for some time so I hope they both due well. Link to comment
plankton99 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I am thinking about buying the same tank, elos 70 but want to know 1) where/how you make the metal stand and 2) how does the drain hole at the bottom of the tank go past the metal corner? in your bare stand it looks like there is a corner metal piece there that would prevent it from going down thru it. Also could you post some pics of your fuge/sump please? Link to comment
Tony Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I removed the metal plate and also had to notch out the back steel piece to fit the plumbing. If I had seen the tank earlier I would have had it made with thinner steel on the back side. Link to comment

Tony Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 One thing I will say about this tank is that I love glass, it is sooo much easier to keep clean. Wish I could tank better pictures though. Link to comment
Babyham6 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 BEAUTIFULL!!!!! That's my dream to upgrade my elos to a bigger elos tank when I move into a bigger apartment!!!!! Link to comment
