I just bought my Elos from Einstein Aquatics last saturday and am very excited to be starting this new hobby of mine. The tank, sump and stand is all put together however I am waiting on the arrival of the e-lite from Italy as it should arrive next week at which point I will start my new adventure!!

Great site!!
 
Cant wait to see this one, i was thinking of grabbing one, hefty price tag but they are so nice, if your willing id love to come by and have a look at it in person. Be sure to post pics of progress as it comes along
 
I'm excited to see it! I wish I had the $$ to drop on one of these babies, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
 
Here are some pictures of the unit I bought (not mine of course as these were taking at that show) but it shows you how nice this system is.

So tell me your going to stock with AAA grade acans, LE montis and SPS! So how are you going to set it up? Any ideas?

I was looking at those pictures last night. What wattage are the e-lites? I think if you offer free beer several us may come over to watch you put it up and together. You, know just to keep you company.......
 
LOL Doug. Since this is my first ever tank of any kind I am still researching what I want to do. I know I want 2 clown fish and 1 cardinal and likely one other smaller fish. I do want to do corals but not sure of what else. I want lots of color.
The price tage for the tank (sump, pumps, skimmer)and stand is $1699 plus tax so it was 1817 out the door. Still have to get a heater, moonlights, rock, sand, CUC, fish, etc.

The e-lite specs are 80-100 lumens if I remember correctly and its supposed to be able to grow anything you can throw its way. The light unit itself is 750 and its fanless.
 
Holy crap where have I been? I have never seen that e-lite but it is incredibly sleek. What type of light is it, incandecent??

Wow wow wow I'd like to see a 90+ gal rimless elos with those across the top. I need a cold shower.

The way they are set up is neat too. I kinda like that 'minimal' and spacy feel, but I'd be over it in a few days, pcking in as much crap as possible.
 
Well you are surely stepping into the hobby running lol Best of luck to you, I envy that system, makes me drool. The e lites are pretty slick, i think they put out mid 4k lumens without the heat which is why they dont have a fan. Ive contemplated selling off a lot of stuff to purchase one of these. You can program the lights to have a thunderstorm effect lol, Elos stuff is always reguarded as top of the line, glad you were able to convince the wife :) If you ever want to sell it. . .DIBS does everyone see that i just called DIBS on it, rules of the web its mine lol. j.p. anyways good luck cant wait to see the progress, throw up some pics of you actually system and everything. Take lots of pics trust me you will get a lot of followers on this thread. If you ever need help lmk im not to far from canton and id love to see it in person.
 
ace - thanks alot, I will certainly have lots of questions since this is my first ever system like this. Where did you get the info about programming the light?
 
I went by to see Chris today and drool on his tanks again. The E-Lites are LED.

Elos is really setting the standard for high end equipment as well as test kits and additives. We are lucky that we have access to these products on a local level.
