    They mention you can run the Zeolith in a filter bag in a high flow area in the sump or in a reactor. Me personally I like to have control over the flow. At some point I might need more or less flow depending how the corals react and it is just easier to do this with the reactor. Besides that I...

    Thanks a lot. Still a lot to do but thinking twice before I am going to put water in the tank. Don't want to have to change things a lot. This system requires also some kind of Zeolites but they don't need to be shaken twice a day as with the Zeovit. The Elos Zeolites require a flow around 120...

    Little more done this weekend. :) Didn't wanted to drill a thousand holes in the original cabinet and therefore we placed another back and sidewall with laminated panels into the cabinet. I like also to keep the electrical as far away from the sump as possible and therefore we build a small...

    I ran the Zeovit system for about 2 years on another tank and was really pleased with it. The only thing I hated after a while is the fact you have to shake the Zeolites for a certain amount of time twice a day and also it becomes difficult when you have to travel a lot for work.. This time I...

    Maxreefer's Elos System120 build....

    I am planning on the black background. Will move also the box also probably. I have an mp40 and mp10 on my frag tank and like them but only in the lagoon and crest mode. I hate them when it comes to the short pulse mode to create waves. The noise they make when they ramp up and slow down is...

    Thanks for the welcome Skimmy A little more info about the setup. Once again I decided to go with the Elos brand. I really like the sleek and modern design and if you see an Elos tank you will notice it is top notch quality. The glass is even superior to "Starphire glass" we see mostly here in...

    MAXreefer's Elos Mini

    A few weeks ago I pulled the trigger and ordered the Elos Mini. I have been looking for a nice Nano that fits the style of the family room. I wanted also more the "all-in-one" as I don't want to have cables and all kind of other equipment everywhere. Having to travel a lot for work it should be...
