A few have emailed and pm'd requests for larger tanks than what is on the website. This is not a problem. For those that have a catalog or have downloaded a catalog you will see a 1000 gallon braceless tank near the end of the catalog to give you an idea of what can be done. In order to do these types of tanks you need a very good design and in our case materials that are made specifically for Elos. Also you can check the "pictures" thread and see a 63"x63"x24" tank that is a standard size and is in a few of the Aquastudios in europe. We also offer a 160xl. We are committed to gearing our products to the US market and if we need to make a larger size tank available as a standard US size, we will. Because we have a complete line of products it is a big job but custom tanks are really not very difficult for us since we have been making these style tanks for many years. Elos is a brand that is well established in Europe and our tanks are a big part of this. As people are able to actually see our tanks and realize just how unique they are in design and quality I think people will realize how much work goes into our products. As an example of one of our custom designs here is a picture taken at the 2004 Interzoo. Don't know if certain people look at this forum but a guy named Julian would be able to comment on how this tank looks in person:) Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.

WOW!! The lack of bracing on the top of that tank gives it a very realistic appearance; as if one was submerged under water.

Daaamn, I've seen that pic but forgot about it. On the 160XL, is that 160x80x60? If so that would be 63x31.5x24 - if so thats 203G baby and sign me up - I miss the Large Tank Forum, lol. Just kiddin man. I'm thinking of getting a new tank when I move, I'll keep ya posted. Shoot me some pricing when you get a chance.
On the quality - you have to see an Elos tank to believe. The bottom and the overflow are crazy. I'm not sure I'm really supposed to describe either and have intentionally not included detailed photos in my picture thread, not that anyone would be able to copy it anyway. It would cost too much. The silicone work from top to bottom is crazy. I have received a few PM's myself asking if the stands were "Ikea-ish" and although they do use similar "cam-locks" - the quality isn't even on the same planet. They are pre-fabbed but the quality is great, and the pricing is far less than what you'll pay for custom modern tank furniture.
I sound like a commercial. Sorry. I just love two things - attention to detail and customer service.
Thanks for the eye candy!
