Yes, Elos would be more of a turnkey system so there is less "learning the equipment".
Do you all want to think about either;
the Elos 70, which dimensions are 30L x 23x20h...or
the Elos 125g (called the 120xl) which 48L x 30w x 20h.
The couple decide against the 200 gallon Elos tank which is 72x30x20.
The reason they didn't pick the 200 is because they don't believe they're at the level of maintaining a tank of that size. A tank over 180 has special needs. They mostly want to enjoy the tank without alot of hassles equipment wise.
The tank to be against the wall the couple agree on this point.
Initially they were indeed planning a peninsula 96"long or a 72" longx24x20 tank. Their home has the perfect place where they have to do a peninsula tank is exactly 96" and would be three sides. However, they decided not to because it would be near the main entrance of the home in the inner foyer. Too many things going on in that area.
So the next best place they both decided on was another perfect area for a 30x30x20 cube. Also space for a 36x36x20 cube.
But the one the woman is wanting to beg/convince hold out on the 48x30 since it does cost more money. Because the width, which is 30" is a better width for aquascaping designs.
The woman would mostly be taking care of the tank, the aquascaping design is the priority, and the flow designed around that. Not the other way around.
The guy primarily wants fish. The woman states that she is interested in an LPS tank. The woman wants as few fish as is humanly possible.
And she knows lps and zoas need room. But she has to first convince her husband of the wider tank.
In addition to many LPS, she also wants to keep softies such as zoanthids, palythoas, ricordea.
And aside from fish the husband is interested in encroaching montipora danae. He thinks they look cool. So does his partner.
What do you guys think?
