Maxreefer's Elos "The 2nd" build

I always have been excited about my Elos Mini and the unmatched quality of the Elos sytems I decided it was time for something "bigger"

Here is a little teaser. Just look at the "Weight" if you need a hint.... :snicker:
My setup journey and progress will be posted in this thread very soon and you will see here some "goodies and newbies" from Elos introduced at the InterZoo2010.

Wow, 540lbs. How big is this bad boy gonna be? I've been thinking about an Elos tank after seeing them. Can't wait to watch the build and see it :)

Well thanks to the nice snowstorm around Chicago the tank didn't arrive today.
New arrival day is going to be Friday.
In the mean time I took the Mini down and is almost ready to go. Corals and the Snowflakes moved to the frag tank.
When everything goes well the new one will look almost like this one below but mine will be a System120
Will post the build and more details regarding all the equipment on Friday...

Could use some help for sure...:wink:
The driver was a real nice guy and helped me pushing it up into the garage with a pallet jack. Was quite an act as we still have some snow in the driveway.

awesome man cant wait to see the build. What is the stocking plans? does it come with its own light or what are you planning on going with? those tanks are insanely clean i like how smooth they are and i feel they're really worth the price. 540 lbs thats a lot of weight it looks like they packed it pretty well.
