Thanks for the bump, Manny.
I agree, Felix definitely does quality work! There is one huge difference in design when comparing the two manufactures. The main one being that the 120xl comes with a double pane glass bottom. In addition to the double pane glass bottom, the top layer is also multiple strips of glass siliconed together. In other words, the bottom layer is one large piece of glass and the top layer is multiple strips of glass to covers the entire bottom (hope that make sense). If Felix would incorporate these features as part of a tank, the price would significantly increase. With out a doubt, you would be saving on the HIGH cost of shipping from Elos thou.
Other Pros of buying this tank would include...
1. Felix currently has a 3 month waiting period. That might not be acceptable for someone in quick need of a quality tank.
2. Although Felix's tanks are absolutely stunning, no one on the market has been able to reproduce the beauty and quality of an Elos Aquarium stand.
3. Some people enjoy the "Brand." This is easily the "Apple" of aquariums.
Thanks for the free bump, see you on Sunday at the Tank Hop
