IRISH02bk Elos 70 build (1 Viewer)

[irish02bk]

Well i just found a heck of a deal on an ELOS 70 system. Have been eyeing them for a while. I'm thinking of going Barebottom on this tank, probably SPS heavy but not 100% sure yet. Can't wait to get it in a few weeks. Pics to come....

Taking suggestions on lights as i currently don't have any, will go LED.

Tank Dimensions 29,52 x 22,44 x 19,7 h inch (55g)

Will be selling my BC29 wiht LEDs onces this is finalized.

very nice tank, depending on your budget I would aim for either some high end Blackboxes or radion pros

I have 2 of the mars aquas black boxes over my 40b. I'm pretty happy especially for the price.

Looks great. Do you know the story with the black back panel? I thought the pools were always 4 sides low iron.

You might as well just add water to the sump as-is. That's what it will look like even after you try to organize it :rotflmao:

The previous owner painted it with a latex black paint for aesthics? I'm thinking i could try to scrape it off but i'll leave it as is.

As for the sump, i had about 50% more room in my 120 stand and it looked like crap, i can only imagine this one...

Looks great so far! If you go SPS heavy it may not hurt to go with a second radion. You get a lot of shadowing with them otherwise.

Thanks I'll have to check it out but I was thinking that too eventually.
