Akma's Elos Midi and Elos Mini

Finally got all my parts for my midi. Love the elos tank, hate the elos customer service.

I wanted to get some pics up and i'll have everything transferred over by Thursday.

411:
- Elos midi tank, stand, sump
- swc 120 skimmer
- RKL
- Ebo jager heater
- Ati powermodule 4 bulb fixture
- 2x mp10es. Not sure if i'm going to use both or just one right now.
- Tropic eden sand (best sand i've seen so far)
- Fauna Marin doser
- jbj nanoglo for fuge

Still debating on whether to move my platinum clownfish or onyx/picasso pair into this tank.

nice tank, whats the difference in specs? between the midi and the solana?

 

[akma]

Midi has slightly larger dimensions and a sump. More space in the display because the solana has a false wall.

Spent all morning moving everything over. Think everything made it okay, so snapped a few pics as of right now. I'm going to be mounting the acans on the egg crate soon, just haven't figured out where yet.

Picked up a few sweet acans a few weeks ago, but only snapped these 2 for now.

Where did you find the sand?

Hey man,
I bought the sand from premium aquatics.

Cool, thanks. I was hoping you found it locally.

Beautiful acans BTW.

 

[Brando457]

what bulbs you running in that ATI?

 

[akma]

Hey Ken,
Yea I looked almost everywhere locally, but seems that it's only sold through premium aquatics or some vendor on ebay. I went with pa.
You can stop by whenever if you'd like to check out the tank.

Brando: I'm running 3 ati blue + and 1 purple.
I had an aquablue but made my tank too white.

So I had some aiptasia and ordered some nudibranches.

While acclimating I threw in an aiptasia into the little container and these guys are demolishing it:
