More corals than gallons
Funny because thats how I got into this hobby! $100 and a 26 gallon bow with 2 clowns later...I've got who knows how much sunk into livestock, 130 gallons of total water volume, 3 tanks, and a plan to upgrade AGAIN when we find our new house in the next year or so...
Anyways, back to the thread. Great looking upgrade! The Elos products are amazing pieces of art

Thanks all! Yes, the addition does tend to feed itself, I am just glad that my wife shares the same sickness!
As for the wall/room - no that was not done in a day
we DIY'd it, and it was more like 3 months.
The idea was to have the stand as flush as possible with the wall the large square area allows a recess for 2 MP40's on the back glass.
Here's a better construction picture - there are lots of those where that came from...
The PVC pipes in the wall... Well I sort of out thunk myself, the idea is was route the cords for the lights and the MP40's so you don't see them.
The lights will work well. The MP40's are hardwired into their controller (UGH) so those are pipes to nowhere

And for certain I'll continue this thread for the build - I guess it's more of an assembly thread
Main challenge now is getting it inside the house. I am more than a bit nervous about it.
The Elos stuff is top notch, so far only really opened up the skimmer box - I'll almost hate to see skimmate in that thing, it's a piece of polished beauty.

Update:
Incase anyone needs to know, Elos stands are closed in the back except for a 2" strip at the top of the stand. So the worlds most complex wall became even more so. I overthink but seem to forget to ask the right questions (GRRR).
Anyway, the stand is leveled (even though this picture looks seriously off kilter - quick cell phone shot).
Now just need to get the strongmen back and up goes the tank!
I'll take better photos of the setup then.
