I was thinking maybe it sticks out, but has enough clearance. Nope.

Francois also sent me new screws that are supposed to not stick out. But they still stick out a lot and won’t work. You can also see an example of how bad the paint is. Sure this is the inside, but it’s like this throughout.

I guess the width is right, but that’s it. He said next step is to send him the covers back and he would make a new one that matches perfectly. Still no details on the overflow/drain specs.

Francois did send me a new overflow cover since the one that came with the tank was really damaged on one end. Hilariously this is the new cover. The hole isn’t even close and the length of this is much shorter. I guess ELOS is just having distributors cut the overflow covers? It’s so weird.

Thanks again for your thoughts. It's always good to see all the different perspectives. It varies quite a bit, so it's nice to hear what others think of similar situations.

Your point of view is valid for sure. Earlier I did question if I'm being too picky about it as well. The paint options are interesting, because Francois didn't have a white stand on hand from ELOS directly, so instead of ordering one he wanted to sell me the gray stand, but I elected to go...

I've been buying salt in boxes for awhile (cheaper per gallon) and actually bought buckets from Home Depot =(

I did pay via credit card. Though he did respond to me, just didn't tell me anything about the Quiet Drain and I'm sure he's trying to get out of this mistake as best he can for himself. He's definitely not doing everything to try to make it right, but trying to test to see what is the least he...

Francois at ELOS responded after I asked for a response (radio silence for a week now). He said impossible for him to send me a new stand. He keeps saying he wants to do everything possible, but I guess very few things are possible at this point. He says it's impossible because all the stands...

Ditto this. It's hard to beat the prices, especially delivering right to our door. But if the prices are pretty close, it's a good excuse to get out to a LFS.

I think where we don’t agree here is on what to expect for the price paid, though yes, the ways to remedy this are clear enough, it doesn’t change the amount I paid and how the quality is reflected. At least to me.

Yeah, back in the day, the Diamond series had just been announced, and it wasn't clear if the tank I got (elos 120) was Diamond Glass or not. I got so many different responses from ELOS at the time, and it was a mess. It seemed like a scam to get me to purchase some old stock at a premium price...

Thanks for the image. Yes very different! Does yours have an emergency drain? I'm still waiting for Francois to respond. He seems to be quick when it's an easy reply, but he hasn't replied regarding the stand issues since the only real way to resolve it is to send me a new one. Last time I...

@Mr2KiEu You have an ELOS 120XL right? Do you have the Quiet Drain 2? I'd like to compare to see if anyone else has this proclaimed "Quiet Drain 3," since there's absolutely no information about it anywhere.

Eep, I meant winter 2023. So yes, 1 year is still a long time. But with my busy schedule, taking my time like this will hopefully make for a very successful/long term tank! I know for sure new equipment will probably come out, so I’m ready to possibly have to sell for a loss and buy new. But I...

I have a breeder box that I'm holding my recovering CSB in. But my damn trochus snails keep dislodging the suction cups every day, so the box floats around and sometimes sinks to the bottom. I want to get some box that has strong magnets instead. Anyone have suggestions of one that has good...

Next plans: 1. Buy all I can during black friday sales (hopefully what I want will be on sale, but it's usually not the case) 2. Make a fake sump using cardboard and "install" all my gear into it 3. Do some dry fit plumbing to test out how everything will go together 4. Probably order from...

Oh yah, it’s actually double glass bottom. I just looked closely and there’s two layers, hence all the silicon.

Thanks for the offer! Luckily my brother-in-law came over and it took all of 20 seconds to lift. I think it’s just about 240 lbs, so not too bad!

I’m not entirely sure what those black blobs are, but maybe. It’s like multi sections maybe for flexibility perhaps.
