Roadtrip Reef- Lisa's Elos System

Saturday morning I was in Bloomsburg and stopped in with Brent to see Lisa's reef. I am not sure if she is here on RC or not.
The tank has been up since around February..
Its an Elos 100 ( 75 gallon) with a built in PS 200 skimmer, filter/sump. Lighting is an ELOS aquatop with 4 led strips-2 blue, 1 white , 1 white and red. The tank is set up in Lisas living room and also receives alot of sun through out the day.
The ELOS set up is very slick looking. The aquatop looks like it is part of the tank and not just a lid thrown on after the fact and the cabinet is a smooth white that looks like furniture.

The reef is a mixture of sps, lps, and some softies. Inhabitants include a trio of flame wrasses, 4 clownfish, 4 sea horses, a mandarin goby, and two small sailfin tangs( destined to be removed when they get older).

Pictures turned out great! There's defiantly an art to photography!!! Awesome tank Lisa! You have renewed my hope for LEDs in a mixed reef tank. Great color and growth from the sps, and happy ricordea and other softies in the same tank! Well done Lisa and Nate!
 
Brent, it was my pleasure. I wouldn't be in the hobby if it wasn't for good friends sharing their experiences, their genuine concern for the animals and their frags. Thank you Nate! The photos turned out amazing!
