3rd times the charm. My 230 G ELOS reboot

[alin2]

The Korallenwelt reef is in the tank. Not the final design yet, but am very impressed with it.

Awesome looking build and I will definitely be following. Any pics of the custom overflow. Is this the new QuietDrain they just announced? Oh and of course GO CUBBIES!!!!!!

Thanks!

Will take a pic of the overflow, but it's not the new design. It has 2 drains instead of a single drain to allow for an emergency drain since I'm going to put a gate valve on the main drain and run it as a full siphon. One return line. Also enough room to run wires, etc next to the drains.

Happy to see other Cubbie fans! This is a great year! Win or lose. But I don't want to take away from your great build! Everything so far is awesome! The tiled wall, the lights, the sump.. For the 3rd time you are definitely knocking it out of the park. Great job!

Beautiful tank there.
Is the steel stand custom made just for you or Elos are mass producing those steel stand?

Thanks.

All I have to say is Elos AquaStudio New York, but in New Jersey, is a pain to deal with. Be lucky if you get any order correct in a timely manner.

Custom steel stand by Elos for the tank. Powder coated white. The magnet points built into the stand so make skinning the stand easier. The nice thing Elos did was to powder coat it for free...

Sorry about your troubles with Elos Aquastudio. I went through Sam Slobusky at Wetworkreefs for the custom Elos and never really dealt with either the Aquastudios or Coralvue.

Wow what an awful ordeal! You actually made me feel better with my experience on ordering a new tank. LOVE the new reboot! What an amazing tank and backdrop.. I think I am going to steal that idea Following along

I could sit on that toilet and stare at that sump all day long

Lol...the fish QT and coral QT/frag tank will be right in front of the toilet. Needed to keep the toilet in there since that's the only toilet in the basement.

Nothing better than leaving a dump while checking your sump.........................LOL

This is a very beautiful set up. I can't wait to see it completely done.

what did you use to attach those back rock panels to the glass?

They are self standing. The base is about 4" wide. You can use epoxy to attach to the walls, but not needed.
