I'm trying to work out the final details for a Elos System 80. Jesse has been helping me put together a few specifications for a semi-custom System 80 tank. I wanted to list a few plans of it here to see if anyone can see anything I or Jesse have missed. Suggestions and comments welcome!

System 80
3 Sides Starphire/Crystal Glass
Black Laminated Back Glass piece
Sump 400 + Osmocontroller + Skimmer (no other filter other than sock)
Eheim 1262 Return Pump Upgrade
Elos SQUARE Stand in Black
Overflow on back right corner

My own components
2x Tunze Nano Streams
AquaController III w/ DC8
My Reef Creations Calcium Reactor Setup
Refugium tank to fit in whatever room that's left
Remote Deep Sand Bed inline with refugium to sump
Maristar T5/250watt MH Combo
Typhoon III AirwaterIce RO/DI System
45lbs ReeferRocks Dry Rock
30lbs Live Rock from matured system
Tunze DOC Filter (running carbon)

Looks great, can't wait to see it. I'm patiently waiting to get a tank myself:spin2: Maybe to top off this awesome system you could upgrade your lighting to a custom painted Planet II (when its available). No dislikes to the Maristar :D , just saying would look awesome hanging over that tank:D
Cheers

The Planet II is pretty neat, but I got a great deal on the Maristar ($400 for everything).

Thanks for the comments.


I hope Jesse can reply to my emails soon, can't wait to get this project started.

Well you can't beat that;)
I know Jesse been really busy lately with the move to the new warehouse. He's a really good guy, he'll pull through.

Kinetic, sounds like an fantastic setup! I'm thinking of asking for a 120xl for my birthday but we will see about that. I've seen the a 120 in person over at Medusa and the quality is top notch.

ah you should pickup the 120! that's a beautiful setup.

btw, I'm thinking of getting a taller stand. it's under 3 feet, kind of short no?

The return plumbing size is only 1/2". Does anybody know the reason for this? It seems rather restricting no? The eheim 1262 has a 3/4" outlet. I'm thinking of asking Jesse to have this upped to 3/4" as well.

Also anyone have pictures of this setup? I'm not trying to steal design ideas, but I want to know how it looks.

Kinetic is still shopping around, I believe. The dimensions of the 80:
Glass tank: 80x50x50h cm (31.49 x 19.69 x 19.69 h inch.), capacity 200 lt. (53 gal)
