Hello all, i will starting this thread my new ELOS 120xl. I just recently sold my condo and in the process of the move broke my ELOS 160. Now i am in a new house and was fortunate to find an ELOS 120XL. Its a little smallr than the ELOS 160 but its wider so i have more room to play inside. I am setting up the tank between dining room and living room as a peninsula so I can see from all three sides. Below i have attached the pictures of what it looks like so far.
Equipment:
i will have 2 Orphek Atlantiks LED
Vertex 180i skimmer.
sicce return
maxspect gyre
BRS pukani dry live rock and also reef saver rock. All left overs from my previous tank. The only thing i bought a new Pukani from BRS one big piece 30lbs

The tank is fully cycled I'm starting to slowly stock the tank, most corals from old tank but picked up a great deal couple of days ago 50 head hammer colony and 15 head duncan. Picked up at Yellow Scopas tang last weekend at aquatic xcelense, (by the way this store is small but the selection is great a lot of rare fish and prices are very reasonable). Let me know guys if you have any questions.
