Allright, so here's where we're at. The 36 gallon Elos Midi I bought last Christmas is now at full capacity. I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality craftsmanship of the Elos products so I really wanted to upgrade to the biggest Elos I could get my hands on.

We have just moved to a much larger house in sunny Heathrow, Florida, which now affords me the luxury of a spacious dedicated fishroom. Whilst in the process of planning our move, I stopped by World Wide Corals to enlist their expert help in moving my current Elos Midi. Victor just happened to mention that their legendary Elos 160xl show tank was up for sale, as they were soon expecting the 630G display behemoth. From that point it was on like the proverbial Donkey Kong. Here is a picture or two of the tank over at WWC:

Now here is a picture of it's loving new home:

:bigsmile: Sweet, nice upgrade! Can't wait to see it up. I'm sure you'll make it look just as nice with some of the gems you've scored.

Congrats! I was at WWC and they told me they just sold that tank. Absolutely gorgeous. Are you getting the rockwork too?

I wish. I told Victor that I wouldn't be averse to taking the rockwork, fish, and corals home along with the tank at no extra charge, but he didn't seem to keen on that idea. :angel:

I was staying in Orlando and stopped by WWC. That tank was the most amazing setup I have ever seen. Great inspiration on my new 200 gallon build with similar dimensions!

I don't want to be a broken record but I can't wait for the progress!
Do you have a thread for the midi? And have you sold it yet?
