ELOS 70.

Last Mondy 03/30 was my 40th Birthday. I am so exicted.
I told my wife that I want to buy a really NICE tank. Oh boy....my dream came true. In the morning I checked the RC forum and there is a guy selling this ELOS 70.

I picked this up yesterday, leave the house at 7AM and headed to Simi Valley. 1 1/2 hrs drive. But worth it. I know this is way overprice, but this is the tank that I've been wanting for.

Guess what I am gonna do with this tank ?

It's gonna be a FRAG TANK.:wink:

Here are some pictures.

I am so impressed with this ELOS 70.

You gotta check out the sump. It's well built, has so many chambers and even Reservoir for the ATO.

Check out the OSMOCRONTROLLER......Move aside Tunze Osmolator.

Look at this Elos Skimmer. Very well designed, thick acrylic and very high tech.
Do you think this skimmer will outperform the BK Mini ?

Thanks. But I am still thinking this Elos tank is overprice. But tell you want...it's really well built.

I'll post more pictures when setup soon.

remember the craftsmanship is in the small details

i think the Elos system are well worth every penny they charge.It may seem like "just another tank" but Elos are made of the finest materials,and assembled expertly with supreme attention to detail

Nice pickup. Be sure to post some more pics once you get it all set up and running.

Fantastic Birthday present!

On the skimmer topic, I have heard many replace the Elos Skimmer with something better ... so try it out and see if you need to do the same.
