I'll check the evo and do you have any pics of the E-powers? Thanks Tony!

New FTS....lost some corals due to low alk(6.9), but it's back to 8.8 right now.

Bummer. I just put a Reef Angel Doser on mine.

mavjoy · 04/15/2012, 08:29 PM

Sup Natedogg, I ran out of alk and did not noticed, but got some ESV Bionic and tank is doing much better. Keeping my alk between 9-10.

Almost forgot, I'm upgrading to a Elos 70 in a month, still gathering items for the new tank.

Tank looks great!
I'm a big fan of the system 70 as well. Awesome dimensions.
Good luck with the new build!

Thanks Eric, really excited with the 70 and it should be a fun build.

mavjoy · 04/24/2012, 12:24 AM

Last pics of the Mini before I transfer most of the LS to the 70. I really like this tank.

Most of the LS are going to the 70....might happen this weeks end.

natedogg · 04/24/2012, 09:18 AM

How much are you dosing daily Mav?

mavjoy · 04/24/2012, 08:15 PM

I dose the 2 part 4 times a day w/ a controller. CA is about 1 minute and ALK is about 1:30.
I haven't tested for about 2 weeks now, but it should be CA at around 450-500 and ALK at around 8.5-9.5.

natedogg · 04/25/2012, 12:21 PM

How many ML's is that? I dose 6 mLs each i think.

mavjoy · 04/25/2012, 02:26 PM

I got Drew's dosing pumps, so 1.6ml per minute. I do 5 gallons water change once a week and been using Microbe-Lift salt reef salt.

drdoolittle · 05/12/2012, 12:36 AM

Any update?

mavjoy · 05/15/2012, 05:51 PM

This tank is no longer running..hehe.

drdoolittle · 05/16/2012, 09:16 AM

Oh good.. when you going to sell it to me...hehe..

mavjoy · 05/17/2012, 11:38 PM

My better half wants to keep it for now, sorry Ed.

drdoolittle · 05/18/2012, 02:32 PM

Actually i may have a couple of options;

1 - i found an Elos Mini, still pending on me picking it up. but it does not have a sump. so, i need to look for it.

2 - I actually planned on getting a nano a while back. So, 6 weeks ago i ordered a custom stand for an 18x18x18 MrAqua. I just got a call today that its ready for pick up. so, now i could either go with the Elos mini (long a** drive for pick up) or go a MrAqua 25.

how do you like the mini? what lighting would you recommend?

mavjoy · 05/18/2012, 11:10 PM

The aqua stand would work with the elos tank(17x17x19). I love my Elos mini tank. The only thing that I might change would be the sump. The stock sump is pretty tight to work with once you start adding other equipment inside but it's doable. A custom sump could also give you options skimmer wise. The tank and stand would be my choice anyday.

I used the AI sol blue and used a custom arm bar to have a clean look. I like how the light matches the stand

. I also painted the bar white to match the stand.

The kessil 150 is nice too or the 350.

LED features goes well with a smaller tank...no added heat at all.

Good luck!
