Hey,

Welcome, I'm new to hobby too and recently joined BAR, the guys are very useful and I can assure you that you have made a correct choice.

If you are looking for a tank setup and also want it to look good as I do, you might want to consider Elos. The pricing I got from the market is pretty much similar but lesser quality tanks and way lesser quality stands. Elos tanks are best in class in terms of low iron good quality glass and they are hand made, I have yet to see better looking stand than Elos. They are going to increase the price before end of this month so your best bet is to call Jesse at Elos and get your Elos. ,et me know if you need his direct number. Also, they come with 5 year warranty for the tank.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I've read a lot about the Elos setups. They are very nice and I really like them but the price... lol
right?

Trust me on this, I did my reaserch, I.e tank and stand would come to $1400, and Elos would be at $1600 then it's not really big deal considering you will end up paying $400 for MP40, I would rather get a good tank and stand than top brand power head.

Hi Steve,

If you would like to actually see some tank set ups.........empty and running. You should check out "Aquarium concepts" in Dublin.....they have several Elos tanks set up and running.............or "All about Fish" in Walnut creek (I think?), they have a lot of tank and stand set ups ready to go. Most of the tanks are what used to be called "all glass." I think they changed to another name. Neptune usually has several you can check out on the smaller range and they also have some "Lee Mar" custom stuff you can look at. Any store can order you what you want, but those seem to have more tanks to look at. Welcome to the club.

May be I'm wrong, nut Aquarium Concepts have replaced Elos with Red Sea. I guess. I went there 4 times and sisnt see any Elos tanks. But as I said, I could be wrong.

Actually I think you are right, my bad.

Oh, I mean only buy tank and stand. That will probably come almost as any good quality tank and stand.

????

Any body else have opinions on this? or this vs Elos?
I love the razor light too.

I have read something about too expensive shipping. 300-400 range. So that might be something you might want to check.

By the way, if you want to go for that then I think just call Jess at diablo corals. You will get personal attention, trusted advice and good prices. I have talked to few places around but Jess have been the honest. Few other stores behave like we are idiots. I'm sure you know what I'm saying.

FYI- Jess is pretty fast to reply the emails too.
