It's going to be tough buying these used. They're pretty rare tanks. You might want to try reefcentral. They have an Elos forum.

If you want to pay for a new Elos tank, you can try the website they have, or give Manhattan Aquariums a call.

Or.. If you have some DIY skills, you can buy a Solana tank, remove the back wall, get the tank drilled, and install a custom "Elos style" overflow. (Yes, I was 90% there once, but decided to sell the tank instead)

How hard was it to Mod the Solana?? I've been thinking about doing it to one of my Solanas.

I'll send you a PM. I haven't actually done it, but I really don't think it'd be that bad.

Yes, i actually hit up the ELos forum there definately doesnt hurt to post in both places. If i cant find one within a month or so i would seriously consider a solana mod. I love the clean lines of the Elos where you can see from all sides.

Anyone ever tried using natural sunlight in the daytime? I was going to park the new tank (if i find one) in the corner next to one of my floor to ceiling windows which should give me a fair bit of sunlight during the daytime.
