Yeah, that was me. As coincidence would have it, they were in an Elos 120xl.
I missed those fish dearly and still regret selling those fish when I took down the tank.

Thanks Josh! Hopefully you'll get your set-up going soon. Can't wait to see your larger tank.

haha, wow that is a coincidence but I probably won't have a pair like you unless I get another opportunity. Hopefully this interrupts will stay with me for many years.

Awesome job on the rock work, looks like a smaller version of the Mr. Kang's tank. Nice fish list also

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. It got me motivated to take more pictures. These turned out a bit better than the last batch i think.
Here's one of the xhatch trigger, i don't think she's photogenic but she likes to eat. Every time I'm near the tank she thinks I'm feeding here haha. Also can't wait for everything to grow in, i think the caps will look great with the tort in the middle.
Some zoas
and the empty left side of the tank. nothing much on this side yet.

Thanks! Mr. Kang's tank was actually my inspiration for going with tonga branch rock. I tired so hard to copy his huge overhang but I couldn't do it up, kept on falling. I'm still happy on how it turned out. My goal was to create an open scape where a lot of sand is showing thats why I glued all my corals onto the rock instead of leaving them on the sand minus the hammers.

Very nice tank!!! I am a huge fan of the Elos tanks as well. My 120XL has been up for over four years now, and earlier this year, I started a new tank (Elos 100). Congratulations on a beautiful tank.

Thank you! This is my first elos and I'm really happy with the quality. I had plenty of other rimless tanks but can't compare to the elos. Do you have pictures of your 120XL, would love to see the orange doors.

Those doors are awesome! I wouldn't mind having Ferrari red doors. I might diy my doors with gloss red laminate. I just can't find them, tried lowes and home depot but no luck. Nice tank and Bandit as well!

Have you considered taking your existing doors to an autobody paint shop? They can paint it any color, and it will come out really nice. The paint that Elos used on these doors is actual car paint. Very easy to clean.
The Bandit is my oldest fish. He has been with me 4+ years now. Awesome fish.

I never thought of taking it to a paint shop. Might have to look into that if laminate doesn't workout. I knew the special ordered colors are actual car paint which is pretty awesome.

Awesome tank! Must be in the water over there in sacramento area. Everyone there has beautiful tanks. Love your fish collection.
