Maxreefer's Elos System120 build....
Hey guys,
I started setting up my new reef tank about a month ago.
Will post here the build and progress for you to tag along. Enjoy!
A little more info about the setup.
Once again I decided to go with the Elos brand. I really like the sleek and modern design and if you see an Elos tank you will notice it is top notch quality. The glass is even superior to "Starphire glass" we see mostly here in the US. The edges are perfectly polished and the seams are perfectly cut and put together.
Of course the most important is what happens "inside" the tank but I also see it as a nice piece of furniture I can enjoy when I relax on the couch.
Equipment:
- Elos system 120 (47.24 x 22.5 x 19.69)
- Elos cabinet with black doors
- Elos sump
- Skimmer: Elos PS1000. This is the brand new Needle wheel skimmer from Elos released at the InterZoo2010. I realize there are real good skimmers on the market who have proven to perform but after long talks with Jesse the Elos guy here in the US I really got the feeling they are standing behind this skimmer and it will perform extremely well. I like to try new things out and therefore willing to test and give this skimmer a shot.
- Return pump: Sicce Syncra Silent 3.0
- Lighting: Elos Aquatop with 3-4 LED stripes
- ATO: Elos Osmocontroller Digital
- Additional filtration: 2 NextReef MR1 Shorty Media Reactor. One will be for the carbon and the other one for the Filtra M Zeolith
- Water movement: Tunze Wavebox and 1 x MP40
- Controller: SApex
- Rock: For the first time ever I decided to go with Dry Rock.
