Default Unique Coral's Elos 120XL

Now we're really having fun! Welcome to Unique Coral's Elos 120XL Tank Build thread.

Stats:
48 x 31.5 x 20
Light: ATI 6xT5s

This system is plumbed into our main 500gallon display tank. Enough talking - here are the pics.

Day 1 - Arrival




Drilling the floor to run the plumbing downstairs. Each hole took about 20 ~ 30mins to drill.




Across the ceiling...


Into the sump & fuge


Filling it up with water




Quick aquascaping


Hanging the temporary Tek fixture


We have light!


This is where it stands now - that's all for today.

Yeap and I have to say it wasn't all that fun. After drilling few more holes, my body felt like they were vibrating violently throughout the day!

Very nice tank you have there. I really like the Elos tanks. Drilling those holes looks like no fun at all.
