Why the acrylic shroud/cover?
It was a decision based on aesthetics. I wanted to "dress up" the look of the lights and was looking for a design that made them look as one.

New Lights are up!
Tank looks great. The rock work is very similar or identical (??) to the rock work Sam used on that Beverly Hills custom elos that was recently featured on Reef Builders.
Looks beautiful. Amazing tank.
Love the Atlantiks, I'm going with one for my new build. Love the fixture. Can I reach out to Sam or MRC and inquire on getting the same mount for a single fixture? It's a much cleaner install that normal wire hanging.
Very nice!!! You don't see many people having the Elos AquaTop. Aesthetically, how did you like the AquaTop on your tank? Did you have any issues with condensation or salt on the glass top?
Your setup is fantastic. Just a friendly suggestion from someone who has owned 3 Elos tanks. Over time, the hinges in your cabinet will start to rust, and it will start looking really bad. If you spray the hinges with food grade oil once a month, it will stay very nice. Also, I would recommend that you purchase another set of hinges now for future use. Finding these hinges is very difficult in the US.
I don’t understand “That ship has sailed.”I think that ship has sailed :-D
Thanks for your compliments! It is the same rock work used on that project - the company that makes it is Korallenwelt. They have the ability to make back panels to your tanks exact dimensions including partially wrapping the overflow to conceal it. They also provide branch like structures and other ceramic elements which allow for a lot of flexibility in aquascaping.
I have the 160XL Diamond Line, but I had a friend built the stand for me. It is a steel stand with solid acrylic panels. The panels have magnets in them, so there were will be no rust issues.
Elos does offer the same style cabinets with their Absolute line. Have you looked at these Elos stands?
