I just bought my Elos from Einstein Aquatics last saturday and am very excited to be starting this new hobby of mine. The tank, sump and stand is all put together however I am waiting on the arrival of the e-lite from Italy as it should arrive next week at which point I will start my new adventure!!

Great site!!

Cant wait to see this one, i was thinking of grabbing one, hefty price tag but they are so nice, if your willing id love to come by and have a look at it in person. Be sure to post pics of progress as it comes along

Congrats on the purchase! Cant wait to see the build thread!

Thanks Folks!! Getting very excited to get it started!!

I'm excited to see it! I wish I had the $$ to drop on one of these babies, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Thanks; it was a bit expensive. Took a bit of convincing the wife thats for sure.....

Very Nice you must take some pictures.

Joe

Oh, ah.....Great purchase.....Those e-lites are really slick looking. Can wait for pictures!

Here are some pictures of the unit I bought (not mine of course as these were taking at that show) but it shows you how nice this system is.

Wow, really nice, where did you see these at?

and how much did you pay for it? If you don't mind me asking.

So tell me your going to stock with AAA grade acans, LE montis and SPS! So how are you going to set it up? Any ideas?

I was looking at those pictures last night. What wattage are the e-lites? I think if you offer free beer several us may come over to watch you put it up and together. You, know just to keep you company.......

LOL Doug. Since this is my first ever tank of any kind I am still researching what I want to do. I know I want 2 clown fish and 1 cardinal and likely one other smaller fish. I do want to do corals but not sure of what else. I want lots of color.
The price tage for the tank (sump, pumps, skimmer)and stand is $1699 plus tax so it was 1817 out the door. Still have to get a heater, moonlights, rock, sand, CUC, fish, etc.

The e-lite specs are 80-100 lumens if I remember correctly and its supposed to be able to grow anything you can throw its way. The light unit itself is 750 and its fanless.

sweet. im going to try and get one within the year.

Holy crap where have I been? I have never seen that e-lite but it is incredibly sleek. What type of light is it, incandecent??

Wow wow wow I'd like to see a 90+ gal rimless elos with those across the top. I need a cold shower.

The way they are set up is neat too. I kinda like that 'minimal' and spacy feel, but I'd be over it in a few days, pcking in as much crap as possible.

Dude we need pic's!

Congrats on the new purchase.

elos is on the ball. that tank looks 20 years ahead of anything else on the market...solana included.

Well I just had Chris @ EA order me a set of the Elos Silver Moonlights :D

Well you are surely stepping into the hobby running lol Best of luck to you, I envy that system, makes me drool. The e lites are pretty slick, i think they put out mid 4k lumens without the heat which is why they dont have a fan. Ive contemplated selling off a lot of stuff to purchase one of these. You can program the lights to have a thunderstorm effect lol, Elos stuff is always reguarded as top of the line, glad you were able to convince the wife :) If you ever want to sell it. . .DIBS does everyone see that i just called DIBS on it, rules of the web its mine lol. j.p. anyways good luck cant wait to see the progress, throw up some pics of you actually system and everything. Take lots of pics trust me you will get a lot of followers on this thread. If you ever need help lmk im not to far from canton and id love to see it in person.

ace - thanks alot, I will certainly have lots of questions since this is my first ever system like this. Where did you get the info about programming the light?

I went by to see Chris today and drool on his tanks again. The E-Lites are LED.

Elos is really setting the standard for high end equipment as well as test kits and additives. We are lucky that we have access to these products on a local level.

Doug - I totally agree!! Makes it nice that chris is a great guy as well.

the e-lites are nice and their mount is cool. nice tank also.

ace - thanks alot, I will certainly have lots of questions since this is my first ever system like this. Where did you get the info about programming the light?

The light is programmed through the software that i believe it comes with, and it is supposed to be very in depth, ive read a lot about these tanks bc well as i mentioned i have greatly contemplated buying one. I guess we will see how much i win or lose in Vegas next month lol.

I need to get over that way and check out his setup. The last time I tried he was sick :(. Im very interested in those test kits.

Here are some pictures of the first e-lite setup that arrived in Ohio. Mine hopefully will be here Friday :).

from what I understand they are not publicly available at this time but I could be mis-informed.

Well I stopped by and picked up my e-lite and a few other things as it just arrived yesterday!! I will start getting my tank going now that I have everything!!

I will get some pictures of all of this stuff tonight as well, my e-lite is the black special edition color as well :D

Here are the pictures. Hope you enjoy!!

I can't wait to see that tank with corals in it. Do the elos leds support sps?

I can't wait to see that tank with corals in it. Do the elos leds support sps?
according to Elos and Chris at EA yes it will support them.

Well I filled up the tank this morning about 2am while I was on a work conference call. No leaks and everything is working great!! Its so quiet except for the overflow gurgle that I can hear, that should all go away once I get my rock, etc and the tank going.

I also added my salt about 1hr ago and will be getting my live rock and sand on saturday from Chris @ EA!! Well on my way!!

Well I got my rock from Chris yesterday; 15.5 lbs and 20lbs of live sand. Here is the scape at this time.

Very nice. I am jealous.

Looking great keep the pics coming

Thanks folks. I still have some very small bubbles all in the tank. How long does it take for them to go away? Are they microbubbles or something else?

Probably microbubble, Maybe they will go away when the skimmer breaks in?

Sweet set-up! That's gonna be nice!

Sick! Gotta love the Elos line!

Thanks folks, it is very stunning in person. the pictures dont do it justice honestly.

That tank is top notch, keep the pics coming.

That tank is so sweet. You were probably going to do this eventually but i would run the power cords for the lights along the edge and down where the black overflow is so they arent visible through the front of the tank. I look forward to this tanks progress, its looking great so far.

Akopley - you are correct, I will be doing the cable work this week sometime :)

Do you happen to work for a large travel company?

Yep, small world. As soon as I saw the part about the 2am conference call I knew it had to be you!

Nice looking tank, some pictures of mine over here;

LOL; very small world. We are moving the datacenter to a 6-7k SQ location so we will have many calls like that I am sure for the next 3 months. Hope you are doing well.

What type of sand did you use? Are you going to add some power heads?

How tall is the rim of the tank from the bottom of the stand?

Do you know roughly how much water the sump will hold?

its 50.5" from the top rim of the tank to the bottom of the stand.

I assume the sump holds between 2-3 gallons total.

What type of sand did you use? Are you going to add some power heads?
I used 20lbs of Nature's Ocean Bio-Active Reef Sand. I don't have any plans for power heads at this time.

Getting close to that time to start adding my CUC. I also had Chris @ EA place an order for 2 picasso clowns!! I am getting so excited!!

My cleaning crew will consist of this:
7 astrea snails
4 blueleg hermits
3 scarlet reef hermits
7 nassarius snails
1 cleaner shrimp

Awesome. Post some more pictures when you get the chance.

Well the CUC went in the tank saturday night about 10pm. I did my first water change thursday which was 4 gallons. Right before we put the CUC in we did the water test using the Elos test kits and all 4 of my reading were PERFECT!! I was so excited!

Everything is going good with my CUC, the cleaner shrimp loves to hide on the inside of the cave and only comes out for about 2 seconds then retreats. I think in a few more days hopefully he will be out and about more so we can watch him. the hermits and snails are all over the place and very very active!! My Astrea snails haven't even moved since being put in the tank, is this normal for them to take this long to get acclamaited?

how many gal is this tank its really nice

thanks!! Its a 20gal tank.

Here are some more updated pictures.

1.5-2" all around.

Hey todd, can we get a full tank shot?

Steve - this is the only one I have right now:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/tarringt/rockfront1.jpg

Looks good, what kinda coral you have in there?

all I have currently is to small zoa frags, about 8 heads on each one.

very nice... is there room in the stand for a Ca reactor if you decided to add one later?? Also I noticed that your temp was 80.7... does the tank run worm or is that what you have your heater set at? The reason I ask is I would have thought that with LEDs and low power use the Elos has the temp would have been lower... or is your room worm? Can we get a picture of the tank with just the moon light on? I'm thinking of adding one of those lights to my ESM. Aslo let me know when you want to add something else, I might be able to come up with a frag or two for the new guy ;)

Thanks. The tank stays between 79-81.5 degrees. The light has been running for 12hrs (8:30am-8:30pm) but I have turned it back to 7hrs as of today. The room the tank sits in stays right around 78 degrees as it gets the sun all day and has a ton of windows in the room. I dont even have a heater on probably wont need that until winter. I have turned the LED off one time for over 24hrs and the temp only dropped .5 degrees. You can hold your hand right under the light and not get burned at all!!

I will get a picture with just the moon light as well not sure how well it will turn out but I will try.

Thanks for the offer on the frags as well :D

Very nice. I need to stop browsing the forum. I have told myself I need to cut back. :shout:

I went to EA today and had them test my Mg levels and they got 1600 instead of the reading of over 1900 I had been getting. I will test again tonight to see if I get the same.

I also met Doug, but I cannot remember your lastname. Was a pleasure meeting you.

Here are some more updated pictures:

That Doug would be me. Nice to met you as well. Can't wait for you to get some corals in that tank!

Let us know what you get on the Mg test.

I just test my Mg levels and they are over 1900. This kit must be off; I will talk to Chris and bring my Mg kit by his place next week so he can use the kit to see if I am an idiot or not.

My other results are below:
Temp - 81.2
SG - 1.025
pH - 8.3
Nitrite - .01/.02
Nitrate - 5
Amonia - .05/.5
Ca - 350 (just dosed after this test)
Mg - 1600
Kh - 9.5 (19 drops to turn to a yellow color, according the Elos kit its .5 per drop)

I know the Kh is high just need to figure out exactly how bad this is at this time.

My amonia is up for the first time as well.

I did clean my tank glass about 2hrs before my test and there was alot of alage on it and my cleaner shrimp also molted so could that have an affect on my high amonia readings?

My Elos card for kH says 1 drop = 1 degree of kH. and it usually only takes about 8 or 9 drops to change colors. Maybe the new tests are different. Hmmm... need to get over to Chris' and see what is the deal.

Mine is the KH expert line test. The card says 1 drop = .5KH. I wonder if there is a regular line and its different then the expert line??

I just read the paper instructions and they say 1 drop = 1degree of hardness which means 20 drops would we 20!! Now I am really confused since the card says one thing and the paper instructions say another. I will talk to chris as well.

I just talked to Chris from EA via email and he said my card is right and the paper instructions are in correct.

Both my card and paper instructions say 1 drop = 1KH. Maybe my kit is a little older.

Doug - yep it appears your kit is older and I have the updated version since I just bought it.


Just did a water change today and just tested the water a few minutes ago.
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 0
Amonia - 0
Ca - 400
Everything else was the same.

Your lighting looks a little yellow to me :lol2: J/K . Sorry I was reading the thread on LED's on NR what a bunch of morons. Everybody is an expert over there LOL.

Next time test your top off/make up water to see what it reades before you do a water change. Or just go ahead and make up some water as it will be okay for some time as long as you have pump in the container and a cover.

LOL, yea I know. Its so stupid with this whole LED thing; I was LMAO saying it look yellow to me. Chris has seen the lighting and knows the specs as well and its certainly NOT yellow :)

Dough - I had tested my makeup water the other day and it tested good including Mg which was 1250.

Yea, sounds like you got the new one. Mine is from about 6 months ago. I think Chris still had the old ones then. Good info. Thanks! Sounds like the new one is even MORE precise then the old. Leave it to Elos to perfect something that is already...... well perfect. :lol2:

My new addition to my tank today a Torch Coral!!
My Mg kit reagent was bad that is what was messing up my readings. Got the new bottle "A" and all is great. My Mg levels are 1400.

Wow, me and my buddy have been talking about that for like a month now...Have you ever seen anyone do that in their tank? I think it would look so sweet.

I concur there deper. A nicely sodded field of GSP in my tank, a couple of mangroves growing out of it.

Wow, me and my buddy have been talking about that for like a month now...Have you ever seen anyone do that in their tank? I think it would look so sweet.

Yeah, it was used in the aquascaping video that was posted like a month ago. The Elos catalog has the same idea in it with freshwater. I think it would look really nice. I've put my gsp in the little path down the center of my rockwork and am trying to get it to grow, but it's not staying put, it keeps floating away.

Hmm...a field of GSP, I must have this.

If I could ever get it to stay put, I would have one. Toothpicks, a frag plug, nor a piece of LR could keep this stuff from moving across the tank. I think someone is moving it while I'm at work :-p

I think that renegade GSP has it's mind set on coming to my tank. LOL

Todd, that tank sucks. You need to rid yourself of it. I can dispose of it for you. LOL Man those ELOS are just beautiful. Very very nice.

LOL Ace :); I agree.

what is GSP? I will search to find it anyway :)

GSP = green star polyps.

Thanks purple, very neat looking stuff.

Beautiful, congrats Todd. Keep those pictures coming and all the best.

Thanks Karimi.

My pair of clowns arrived last week so I will likely stop by on Monday or Tuesday to pick them up from EA. Once I get them in I will post some more pictures.

also forgot EA ordered me a tunze nano as well :D

Looks good crackhead....U want a fish? I got one i think im gona part with :)

LOL Mike, I am good for now :).

Excellent! Looking good.

3 clowns or trick of the eye? :)

Looks good!

LOL, thanks folks!!

Finally took some more pictures of my corals and fish in my Mini; these are a month later from the last shots. Still trying to get a picture of my orange spotted goby but he is being shy today. These are all from my Sony cyber-shot 6mp point and shot camera. Not to bad for finally getting some settings changed on the camera after trial and error!!

Just a warning! Be carefull with those yellow polyps. They grow fast and are brutal on other corals. I am in the process of wiping them out in my tank.

BTW...You Tank is looking great!

Sweetness!! You learned to take pics! I'm sooo stealing a frag off that milli I sold ya! That thing is amazing! Go ELOS [~]

interesting, I didn't know that. Glad I have them on the other side of the tank. can they live next to other zoa's and palys without issues or is it all corals?

LOL chris; yea I monkied with the settings on the camera so they came out pretty good for a novice. That color on that is amazing, took me forever to get a picture that reflected the way it looks!!

interesting, I didn't know that. Glad I have them on the other side of the tank. can they live next to other zoa's and palys without issues or is it all corals?

They kill just about everything. IMO, It is best to keep them isolated or get rid of them completely.

Thanks for the info, guess I will let them find a spot all for themselves then.

They are also one of the most common polyps you can find. You tank looks worthy of only rare, LE Zoas and Corals!:D
Dave

Sweet I agree!! I was going for different colors and wanted something yellow :(.

so you have any good yellow LE zoas or corals :) or other bright corals that would stand out nicely in my setup.

I have some nice zoas and LEs, but this is what you need in a yellow zoa called Midas Gold:

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg301/juniorsreef/midas-gold.jpg

wow; those ARE SWEET!!

If you are ready to spend $100 for five polyps :eek: , you might be able to get some. But seriously, PM me and I can give you the guy's contact info. I might be interested in splitting some with you. We could save on shipping.
Dave

Man, I'd like to have a couple of polyps of those Midas. Those are tight!

I'll buy a polyp

looks like maybe we have 4 people to go in an get some if they are available. Everyone in if Arco could make this happen?

Yeah, I'm in for a few polyps. 20 bucks a pop is steep, but they sure is awful pretty.

I've got a price list coming this weekend. I'll pm everyone when it gets here.
Dave

Sounds good Dave. Thanks

Hey are there any other LE stuff you can get? Jason (Ace) told me about the polyps so I am probably gonna hop on as well.

yeah just let me know some pricing. I can't do much but maybe a little

I'll join in too. I could buy a polyp or two.

My last 2 fish additions to my tank.

I added the Orange spotted goby about 2 weeks ago with a pistol shrimp however the pistol is still MIA at this time.

My last addition that I added yesterday is a flame angel. I got all of my fish from Chris at EA.

That Flame is a cool looking fish Todd....I just added wrasse and he is still hanging on...im hoping to pick up some clowns this weekend

awesome mike!! I think i saw you got a 6 line? Those are sweeeeeeeet fish!! You will love the clowns as well, very social fish.

I am trying to get a better pic the flame but she won't sit still!!

well my pistol shrimp is alive, he just poked his head out of the hole where the goby's picture was taken above!!! After further looking in the hole I can see where he has made a big hole in the sand for their burrow!!

Now I just want him to come out more and be visible for us to see as he is so brightly colored!!

Here are my new ric's I bought from Coral Morphologic. I must say I am very impressed with the colors these things have and they are alot brighter in person compared to what my pictures represent.

I vote we ban Todd because his tank is too cool. I am tired of looking at it in envy.

Second......LOL Not really keep them coming Todd.

i get my zoa frags from Jeff tomorrow so I will add some more then!!

I really love your tank it's awesome!:up: I have a UPS store and the stand for your tank looks just like a paper storage cabinet that I have here in the store. After seeing the application I think that the cabinet would do better under my 29g biocube. :yay:

Those arent all glued to the same rock are they? If so, that mille will cause problems for the other corals once it grows bigger.

yep they are all on the same base just for now which will be maybe 2 weeks top until I move them to their final location.
