Hello everyone,

Well this setup is the result of me being terribly unhappy with my previous tank. Earlier in the year I had a 240 gallon starfire tank with Solaris LED Lighting and a Lifereef filtration System. I was terribly unhappy with the build quality all the way around. So I down-sized and "up-graded" to an Elos System 70.

This is the nicest aquarium setup that I have ever seen. I love the clean modern design and the simplicity of the overall system.

Here are a few pictures:
This is a picture the day after it was setup:

Actually I just got the Lighting system yesterday. I have had no light over it for the last two months. I am using the Elos Planet II (1X 250w MH + 4X 24W HO T5) I will get some pictures of the tank and light up tomorrow.

Here are a few shots of whats in the tank currently. All of these fish were in my 240 and are actually out more in this tank than they were previously. Also, this tank will be stocked with 80% SPS and 20% LPS and Ricordea and Clams. Luckily the three angels do not bother any corals. They were in the 240 with LPS, SPS, Softies and Clams. They do not even eat Zoanthus. Ill just keep my fingers crossed that they will remain model citizens. :)

I am very fortunate that all three angels get along very well. I have not seen any aggression whatsoever. And my lovely Regal is the biggest baby of them all. She eats Very Well, and is the most inquisitive fish I have.

Pretty angels :)

If it comes down to it, keep the Potter's hehe.

So what are you going to do with the Regal when he gets bigger? Trade him in?
