[ivandrago]

Hello, as you already know i said i bough the new ELOS 160 from one of the members here on MR. I will be starting the new tank build. First this week i will be ordering the new steel stand for the ELOS tank, the garbage press wood that the offer is a POS. I have a guy in White Plains that will led me me a stand. The place is called Watkins Welding really nice guy, he made a steel stand for my dads ELOS 160. Below you will see pictures of the new tank that i will be setting up and the Current tank that i will be upgrading from. The current tank is a DSA 105 gallon rimless with center overflow its time to upgrade to the beautiful ITALIAN. If you guys would like to know what I'm running under the hood let me know and i will tell you, but for now some pictures.
