Glad I bought my tank from Jesse @ ElosUSA cause he's going to send me another one by next week. They have the best customer service...The reason why I waited so long is because I had the overflow put on the left side rather then the right side because of the holes in the floor leading to the fish room. It turns out right or left overflow I should be fine.

Yeah Jesse was very easy to talk to and basically said I'll send you one right way. The claims inspector was over today and was like Ddamn!!!
 
Oh man that makes me cry. I'm glad you don't have to wait too long. Can you keep it for parts?

Man. Eric told me about this. I would have flipped out... Beautiful tank. U are doing the spectra right? I'm back and forth on getting one for my 48x30 build... Right now I have the ecotech radions that I'm ready to use... Haven't set up yet. I love t5's and mh look... But like that LEDs are less power consumption and heat.

I just wanted to go to sleep after that. Unfortunately I have to pack it up for FedEx since their paying the claim.

They sure do and having all low iron crystal clear glass (same as starphire) makes it even better. I waited 2-1/2 months so one more week won't hurt;)

Thanks. I don't know who they are using this time but I'm sure it will be packaged

Money doesn't go a long way with elos does it? My buddy has a 160xl? The stand looks like an ikea piece. It's peeling on the doors and sides.

They actually use a marine grade MDF and the laminate is also made of a highly water resistant thicker material for 2012. As far as putting it together it is like ikea but not cheap like Ikea.
