Elostrating Wargod's 160XL

[hawaiianwargod]

Few month's ago, I was shopping for a new tank (glass) to replace my 300g reef....after doing all my research, I visited Jesse's place and Bam! like Emeril Lagase say's...this is the "one" looking straight to a 120XL.
After chatting with the wifey, to my surprise, She said what the??? Are you crazy replacing your big tank? My reply to her was, "I'm replacing it with a smaller tank".
She asked me to get the measurement tape...so, I gave it to her. I waited for the Sarcasm but to my surprise there was none!
She measured my 96" incher tank (300g) and asked me "how small of a tank is the replacement?" So I gave her the 120XL dims....She look at me weired, I thought man...she is going to kill me....Then I heared the most beautiful thing...like back in the 90's song from "the Chronic" album...."Nothing but a G thing"!!!
She said to me, the replacement is too small...get a little bit bigger. So here she is waiting to be plumbed along with my other baby Mykah (Macaw)!

Jesse's customer service is absolutely A+++!

He even let me borrowed these life savers...http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y236/hawaiianwargod/Elos160XL00027.jpg

And had to asked my friend to build this to make sure the tank is transported securely! ;)

Hey Luis!!! Its been awhile now huh? How's everything?
Thanks bro...I was looking for different setups and this Elos stuff is pure quality.

Come by anytime and well cook some adobo for you...:D .

[CalvinC4S]

Awesome tank man!

Appears that Mykah wants to help get the cycle on the way for you.

Look forward to it's progression.

[hawaiianwargod]

Thanks Cal! I Guess I'm in the family now....Elos family huh? lol..

How's your tank? Post pics soon.

Plumbing is soon to be done this week...

[Nuuze]

Welcome to the club hawaiianwargod! :D More pics when you get a chance to get your arm out of the tank! Those suction cup thingys are awesome!

[hawaiianwargod]

Thanks Nuuze...your tank is one of the blue print I'm replicating.
Your tank thread is very inspirational and looks awesome!

Lucky for me, Jesse let me borrowed his suction cups. I think my 300g tank was lighter compared to this tank.

Speaking of weight issue...I had to reinforced my flooring just in case...so, it delayed the project for a day.

[MSHUR]

Speaking of floor reinforcment..:) I am getting elos tank by end of July( i hope) and king of worry about weight .
How did you reinforced your floor,i am looking for ideas.

Hey Mike,

I hired someone to do it for me...basically, he uses 2x4's, 2X6'S and 4 hydraulic bottle jacks. I think its very simple to do, I could have done it myself but my schedule at that time was hectic.
Good luck on your Elos tank...you will not be disappointed.

[powdertang05]

no overflows???

[elosusa]

He has a right side overflow it is hard to see from the picture. The funny thing is I thought the same thing when I looked at that picture and I sold it to him:)

[hawaiianwargod]

Just added this tracks to make my life a little easier to maintain my reef...bulb changes, Sand vacs, frag gluing, aquascaping..etc.
I could move the fixture all the way from the back or front...http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y236/hawaiianwargod/Elos160XL00017.jpg

[hawaiianwargod]

Missing my big tank:mad: ...but when I look at my new Elos rimless glass tank, it makes me :) .

Very pleased with the result...a little imagination needed.;)

I was going to build a custom aluminum hanging frame tracks for the fixture but I use a plexi glass and aluminum...

No problem Mike. My fixture is at least 60lbs...its pretty safe since the tracks could handle at least 150lbs.
I'm glad you like it!

If I'm not mistaken Jesse had a pallet scale and it registered close to 500lbs. Once water,sand, and LR's...who knows, but surely it is going to be very heavy. Reinforcing the floors should be mandatory if the tank is not placed on a concrete floor...jmho.

[bogg]

Hey whats the aqua uno m?. MAN your tank is so cool. I think I might just have to get one.

[hawaiianwargod]

Bogg,

The aqua unom is for the owner to take so He or she can forget about the dollars spent on this hobby!!! lol! Just kidding...:D
Its actually to help boost the bacteria in a new setup tank.
I can sense an urge to upgrade bro...as I said before, I would have gotten the 120XL since its a nice size tank. Downgrading is what I really want from 300g to 120-130g but my better half surprisingly convinced me go a bit bigger...can't argue with her insights nor wanted to deviate from it... :lol:

Btw, thanks for the compli...appreciate it.

Plumbing is in the works....have to take a breather and sip some Jack and Coke... ;)

[Nuuze]

Cool light rail! :) Is there a stopper at the ends in case it slides too far?

Note to myself...Jack and coke is not good to have while doing reef works...:lol:

Super sweet bro. I also got a few of the Elos fish foods and they make my fish crazy. But my fish are pigs so its hard to compare. I can say they like it more than other dry foods, for sure - maybe a little less than arcti pods or mysis. But its awesome to have on hand.

Hey Dave,

Thanks bro...hope to see that reactor of yours running! Can't wait to get mine..still using the Schuran...works for me for two years with no issues as long as it is being fed by a peristaltic pump.
I guess I'll try wine next time..I love Chardonnay especially

Who wants to go camping this summer? we ussually go to Cherry Lake by Yosemite....talking about beautiful settings and good place to play paintball!
Project will resume when I get back :mad:

[hyacinth]

Nice J--that's an awesome tank. Didn't know you had a macaw too? I miss mine--both my macaw and my tank--gotta take the 2 minute drive to your house to get my fix!

[robster]

I love the beautiful black corners.

[invincible569]

Whoa! I wasnt expecting to see this thread and watch you have purchased hawaiiangod! I saw a thread where yuo said you got a tank and never saw anything pop up under the Large Tank forum. Now I know where you've been hiding. The tank looks great!! And I love your lighting idea. What lights are you planning on using? What size tank is this? I can never get it right with the model numbers. :)

Hawaiiangod, would you be interested in selling a 72" plexi hanging light kit like yours for my tank? I love it. It's original and looks clean.

[Mel-E-Mel]

for real bro! that hanging kit is one of the nices ive seen. you gotta show me how to do that with my open top!

drdoolittle,

Thanks Ed...I'll let you know when this project is done.
I'm happy you got your skimmer already!

Hyacinth,

Alan...thanks bro! I did not know you had a macaw. Was it a Hyacinth? I love those macaws...I've had my macaw since 1997...She's 10 years old now. I got her before she was fully weaned...had to sacrificed for two months but it was worth it.
My African Grey passed away two years ago...:mad:. RIP Zasu!
Hopefully my progress with this thing will not halt as I am getting exhausted!!!

Robster,
I love those black corners too...Elos stuff is simply amazing!

invincible569,
Thanks Edward...getting a compliment from you is a big deal since you among others changed (in a positive way of course) the reefing world here in the States!!!
My light I chose is the Nuuze's and Naka's Sfiligoi XR4 minus the dimming capability since it does stresses the MH bulbs...just want the look and the reflectors are similar to L3's.
I wanted the Elos 250watters but it is not available yet and I don't want to wait and compromise my livestock's well being...lost many of them due to stress already...sucks!!! :( but it is part of this hobby.
The size of this tank is 210 + or - and exactly like Flig's (David) and Calvin. I know its confusing since Europeans and many parts of the world uses the metric system. I believe the dims of this tank is 64*32*24 or close enough. I will pm you regarding the light mounts...

Romelgin,
Suppah 'Mel? Is your tank still in the works? Can't wait to see the progerss!!! Thanks for the compliment bro...once this tank is done I'll have sometime to help you out......drink your Jack and coke..:) .

Where did you get your Sfiligoi XR4 fixture from? Looks really nice. Did you get a dimmer too? Do you have a link? How long is that? Also, any links to the Elos fixtures?

[hawaiianwargod]

Rob,

Thanks....Did not get a dimmer since the dimmer actually stresses the light bulbs which then shorten its span. Wait for the Elos lights since it will be here in US soon. Jesse is the man to talk for its debut here in US.

[invincible569]

I got the iPhone too. You can see RC so much better. ;)

[Fliger]

You guys gotta tell me if you think the internet is quick. I just got a new Blackberry Curve and its on the Edge Network (same as iPhone) - and I'm finding it painfully slow (Sprint on my Treo and other phone was WAY faster). I was thinking of getting the iPhone but nervous about internet speeds (since it uses Edge and not 3G). Thats really about the only drawback that concerns me. I love the internet and the mapping (google earth?) is waaaay cool. Not quite GPS but still very user friendly.

Great updates by the way. I'm glad you don't appear to be having the fuse problems with the magnetic ballasts. I hope for your sake it stays that way - its been 3 weeks now and I still have no replacement fuses for my Sfiligoi. :(

Robster - Elos lights are fantastic and I'm anxious to see their new 250W possibly with LED - but if you're deadset on a Stealth with ACLS - dirtyreefer has a 1x250W w/ACLS for sale that would be perfect for your size tank. I saw it a few days ago in the used forum. Hopefully Jesse doesn't mind that I posted this in his forum.

Btw, Back glass is tinted to create that "Elosion".... So far so good! I purposely not used the darkest film so I could implement "something" to create even greater depth...hmmm!

Note: Height of the fixture is not final.....a bit high..it will be lowered soon.

I'm probably going to end up with the 160XL too at some point or whatever equivalent that Elos is making at the time. It has to wait though until we get our new house ... still in the planning phases and permitting so we're still about 2-3 years out.

So how long you been away from the islands? Weather's nice over here today ... maybe a little too nice lately (heard about our drought?) Maybe I'll go out and have a portugese sausage, eggs, and rice breakfast just for you. :D

The Real thing is way better...hope they will have Zippy's here in Cali...I think they are better than L&L.
So what is the verdict...are you still thinking of upgrading your 120XL?

Thanks mike! Water movement will be 4X 6100 Tunze's controlled by a multi controller. Overflow is located on the right side corner of the tank. Got to take a pic of the (OF) soon.

[MSHUR]

have you ever consider Vortech instead? i guess you planning on SPS corals:))
Did you get elos sump as well?

mike

[hawaiianwargod]

mike,

Planning to have mixed reef. I love tunzes and no reason to change it.
right now, I'm going to use a remote sump.

[MSHUR]

I cant wait to see your final set up .. Good luck!!!!

[hawaiianwargod]

Thanks Mike....can't wait just to finish it and shop for corals.
Got some left from the old setup but some persihed away and some I gave away....going to get frags from the locals here.
Got the hook ups for Ausie corals here as well...;).

I had a loco moco this morning just for you. Now to go do something about my cholesterol. :D Zippy's will make it to the outer islands before they show up in California.

Planning to be there sometime in August...maybe we could hook up there...My parents inherited so much properties there...I guess my bro and I will be alright when were ready to retire over there...maybe early 40's..;).

How long have you been using Reef Crystals? Are going to mix the salt in the tank. The reason I ask is that I have been using it for a couple of years and never have found a way to deal with the clay in it. I was wondering how you handle it?

Thanks,

I have been using ReeCrystals for a few months...been using IO for years with no issues. Never have the clay issue...do you mean rock salt? I also used Mag12 to mix the new salt...the stronger the pump the better...faster too! I have a 50g tank just for saltwater reservoir...I always have a water ready just in case of emergency. Water change is also easy...15 minutes tops. I have a litermeter III and will be implemented to do automatic water change!:D .

Mshur,

No problem Mike...when you're ready buddy!;)

[derek]

No, the salt seems to have clay in it. All of my mixing stuff(garbage can, Mag 18 and heaters) would get coated with a brown solid material. I was mixing 25 gal/week and every 6 months or so I would really have to scrub everything or else I would get this brown clay coating everything. I liked the salt, the tank did really well, but I have never figured out the clay(I am figuring it is bentonite added as a flow aid.

Hey Luis,

You're right...Some friends are staying there for a week...Imagine spending 4th of July overthere! Lake was fun, but I bet, now it is a bit crowded...Calero might just be an option for the 4th.

Thanks Spleen!....I could still tweak it around but mainly the scapes consist of one big island and a smaller one on the left side.

lookin good J! i like all the open space you got. no flow restriction front or back. but then again with those tunze's i dont think you would have any regardless. hows those test kits? ive never seen those personaly and i was under the impression that salifert is the way to go.

[hawaiianwargod]

Mel,

I'm lovin the space I got on this tank...so easy to manage and no ladder to "climb"!!! As far as flows, I had to dialed down my Tunze streams ...so far so good.
Salifert kits works great for me for years...elos kits are easy to follow and they are very accurate as well.

[spleen93]

Mystery location for vacation, huh? That's always cool too. You'll have to let us know where you end up!

And I like how the Elos kits are simpler to use than Salifert in many ways. :)

Spleen

[hawaiianwargod]

Hey Spleen,

I myself don't know.....I ussually let her handle these type of things :D ! How about you...taking any vacation this summer?

[spleen93]

Got a trip coming up to Japan/Korea/China/Hong Kong in October. Gonna be away for 3 wks - not sure how my tank's going to survive for 3 wks without me. Have a tank friend who can come over and check on the tank but still ... 3 wks is a long time. I'm going to need a Brute just to hold the topoff water and it'll probably need to be replenished at least once. I have recurrent nightmares of coming back and finding the pumps sucking air and everything in the tank dead. http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad032.gif http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad024.gif

Sorry for the delayed response...got so busy and next thing I know I had to packed things and took off to Jamaica...Wife's idea and again hat's off to her. your asia tour sounds great...Asia got a lot to offer and someday I will definetly check out Thailand.
3 weeks is a long time to leave your reef tank...make sure you will have someone check it out from time to time and go over the deatails in case of emergency.

Nuuze,

Thank's a lot again...I wanted to get my parameters stable and only then I will add sps corals.

flyingphish,

Thanks...I love veranda and over hangs scapes. It does give you the 3d effect.

Thanks Eileen...hope you will get an elos tank...surely, you will love it. You are welcome to check it out later on..well set a time.

elosusa,
Thanks Jesse for the updates...I do have a guard dog...Doberman to be exact...;) ..lol.

Delsol,
You are welcome to check my tank....are you ready to be Elosized? Trust me, when you see an actual elos tank...its all over...you're hooked on E! lol!

Invince,

Thans bro!

Edward, my wife and I did not have the chance to check out the reef because all we wanted is just to be "lazy" and get pampered at the resort. Just lounging by the beach...pool and wine and dine...This November my wife and I will be in Australia for 3 weeks and definetly visit the great barrier reef. If time permit, we are planning to go to New Zealand as well.

For T5's I was using 2 actinic plus and 2 pure actinic all Giesemann that were cool. But seems that people are doing the 2 actinic plus, 1 pure actinic and 1 aquablue combo.

HWG,

First, welcome back from Jamaica. Looks like it was a very relaxing trip by the pictures. I have traveled the Caribbean many times while in the Navy but only was able to visit Cuba, Puerto Rico and Curacao. I did get to refuel off the coast of Saint Thomas. I am curious though. How did you take care of your tank while you were gone? Are you running a controller? Did you have a tank sitter?

Hmm.... the skimmer? Well that is a little bit of a story. I am still not quite ready. I am keeping my rock alive in 100g rubbermaid trough in the basement using a AP851. The AP901 would be ridiculous on that. I just picked up my custom 150g sump. Expecting my ACIII and accessories this week.

Now here is the dilemma. I am not sure you remember but I bought a 92g Corner tank last year. At the time I was unaware of starphire tanks. So after looking at many nice tanks including yours I think I will never get water in the 92g. I am now looking at getting a 120g starphire tank. I have not decided which one though. Any thoughts?

Last thing. I will be traveling to Anaheim for the Cisco Networkers conference this Saturday the 21st. If you live in the area or an hour or so away it would be cool to see your setup in person.

Mike

[robster]

My vote is for the Phoenix. You can't go wrong with this bulb. I love mine.

Could you share the picture of your sump/skimmer?

Hmm.... the skimmer? Well that is a little bit of a story. I am still not quite ready. I am keeping my rock alive in 100g rubbermaid trough in the basement using a AP851. The AP901 would be ridiculous on that. I just picked up my custom 150g sump. Expecting my ACIII and accessories this week.

Now here is the dilemma. I am not sure you remember but I bought a 92g Corner tank last year. At the time I was unaware of starphire tanks. So after looking at many nice tanks including yours I think I will never get water in the 92g. I am now looking at getting a 120g starphire tank. I have not decided which one though. Any thoughts?

Last thing. I will be traveling to Anaheim for the Cisco Networkers conference this Saturday the 21st. If you live in the area or an hour or so away it would be cool to see your setup in person.

Mike

Mike,
A week is ussually "ok" to leave a tank but,I do have someone that watches my tank when I'm gone. I have no controller as of yet as I 'm shopping for a good controller at this time...elos controller sounds good right about now.
My advice regarding tank situation is go with the 120g starphire...its bigger! and clearer! for sure. Do it right the first time as it would be a pain to tear it again in the future.
You are welcome to come by anytime but Anaheim California is in Southern part of the state and I'm located here in Northern California. About 5 hours away....:( .
If I remember correctly, Jesse mentioned that there is a LFS that sells elos tanks. Maybe you could pm him for the details or I'll try to find out for you...

I could smell that BQ from here. :D

I don't think I"ll be down grading soon. I'm just getting too impatient to see the tank stock up with corals. By the way I already switch my lighting setup to 3x 400w icecap with BLV 20k bulbs. But the light looks more like 15k to me.

Hey Perry,

Keep that ocean of yours!.....did you add more corals since the last time I've been to your house? What was the reason for changing your light scheme?

HWG,

I thought you lived up in the San Jose vicinity. I have a few friends in that area. Also one of our offices is in Menlo. If I ever get a chance to go there I will definitely look you up. Do you ever find yourself in Atlanta?

I talked to Jesse today about a 120XL. ;-) Decisions...decisions.....

I will PM him about that LFS in Anaheim so I can see an Elos tank.

Ed,

My reactor is the Jetstream 1. I do love this reactor....once it is set properly no need to mess with it for a long time. I just actually look at the ph inside the reactor and the co2 running time...that's it. But, I do believe that using this type of reactor, one must implement a peristaltic pump to feed the reactor.
This is my second peri pump....:mad:

[xinumaster]

Hi J, I just added a few ORA corals last month. I need to reaquascape my tank so I can move that giant giga I got from alan to the center of the tank. But I can't do it right now because I'm still baby seating Alan's corals. Once his tank is ready and is corals are moved into his tank I'll start my re-aquascaping.

I change my lighting cause I think the 250W MH is not reaching the bottom of the tank. I wanna keep a not so par demanding sps at the bottom of my tank so I decided to change my light to 400w.

I remember Rollie used to have a 6line wrasse in his tank before. How did he got it out? I need to evict my 6line too cause in has been picking on my mystery wrasse.

What is your stocking plan?

Perry,

Wow!!! reaquascaping your tank would take sometime...I remember when I had my 300g, Aquascaping was a big chore!
That Giga would be awesome on the middle...what a center piece you have in your tank!
Sixline wrasse are very quick and evasive....either you have to take all your LR's or put a screen in the middle of your tank and just take half of the LR's. Working with a trap can work but sometimes it takes awhile before you could catch the right fish.
I think Rolie caught his 6line during feeding, if I remember correctly.
Stocking plan would be few tangs,few anthias,pair of clowns and few wrasses. Maybe I'll add some more of those chromis. Waiting for my black tang...a friend of mine is getting it for me along with a "nice" angel.
This tank will be mixed...sps but mainly lps's.

Hey Mel,

I'm searching now for another bulldog but I guess it can wait since my wifey and I going to Australia this November. I don't feel right leaving a new pup to someone. I still have to do a lot of convincing to get another English bulldog to her since she is still mourning to our recent loss last year. Dog and my parrot are our kids for now...:) .

Very nice! Love the open aquascape

Thanks Edward....If time gets normal around here, I will play around more with the scaping....want to have the minimalist look but looks like it's getting crowded now. Part of it is due to some corals and clams came from my 300...they occupy too much space..:D .

J, looks great already. minimalist gives you a bigger tank perception. :)

Hi J, I got lots of room in my tank for your clams. :D

Amen to that Ed! Having too much stuff ie..corals and rocks inside a small glass kill the looks of the euro/japanese style we try to mimic...scaping is a true art like you have in your tank! Got to find time soon to scape my tank right.

I heared from an inside source that your mini ocean in your living room is getting filled up with corals? Is this source telling me the truth?:D

Don't get me started, I am still at the shop and I am dying to eat something. Let me know when you are coming by. I will be here this weekend so if you are in the area I should be around.
