Adam_T's Elos Mini w/ DIY LED

Alrighty, so I took the plunge and got back into Reef Keeping recently (heavily). I took a bit of a break when I moved from Wilmington back to Charlotte, but soon after bought a BC14 and put an LED system in there (Ecoxotic Panorama Modules). I soon realized that this system was too small and looked too childish for my tastes (hate all the plastic and the rounded edges), so I upgraded! I'll be posting updates as I get it setup...


Tank: Elos Mini 20 Gallon Cube
Sump: Elos Mini Standard w/ DIY Installed Refugium
Stand: Elos Matching Stand
Lighting: DIY 12xCree XP-G/E, 1:1 RB:CW, No Optics, DIY Housing
Flow: Vortech MP10ES
Heater: Azoo 100w Titanium
Fish: Scooter Blenny and Dwarf Pygmy Angel for now...
Coral: Anything I can get my hands on (not a huge SPS fan besides monti).


Tank:



Sump:





Lighting:









Is that a DaveFason, Nano-Box-Reef prototype driver in that picture? I think so...







Haven't transferred everything over from the BC14 yet, but will take pictures once the setup is complete and the lighting is hanging over the tank! Currently, my LED's are NOT dimmable but that is because I am "borrowing" Dave Fasons prototype LED driver while he finishes up my new one which has dimming, etc...

More pics soon!

Update: Got everything swapped over from the BC14 and the Elos has been running for 2 days strong now!

Looking sweet! I like how your modded sump lets you have even more water volume in the system.
