The lighting on the nano's is from an italian company, Oliver knott put a link to them on his pbase site but it's since been removed and I can't find it in my history. 🙁

Thats a shame. 🙁
 
Email Oliver, he might take a while to get back to you but he's never not replied to me.
 
hi guys,

what do you reckon the ratio of planted tanks to non planted tanks was?... looks like a lot of planted tanks.

Hi Chris

I'd say around 50-60% of the tanks were planted. The other half was made up of marine and non-planted FW.

Unfortunately I don't think this is necessarily a reflection of how popular the planted tank hobby is compared with other types of fishkeeping. It's more that a planted tank is high-impact and a lot easier to get looking good in a temporary setting compared with reef.

I'd love the planted tank hobby to have any way near 50% of the reef hobby's market share...

Was this event open to the general public or was it trade only?


I noticed more interzoo pics on this blog:-

Officially trade-only, but if you had a business card and 30 Euros you could get in.

Thanks for the link. FAAO (Filipe Oliveria) is one of Europe's top 'scapers, FYI. I suspect he 'scaped the Elos tanks... 😉
 
Filipe is now part of the Elos family. I had a talk with the head of ELOS at Interzoo. They hired Filipe after his great activity with the Elos brand.

i would not be suprised if he would have scape that large tank. looked really good with those ambient background lights. :thumbup:

Very cool!

I'd like to see Elos over here, but wonder if there's a market for it? I think most folk with the money to invest in Elos prices would likely choose ADA. One day maybe...
 
I believe elos works out around double what ADA does, they picked up a distributor last interzoo only to be dropped when the distributor decided it wouldn't be anywhere near cost effective enough. I searched up prices not all that long ago (would have been before christmas) and those nifty LED lights for nanos come in at nearly a £1000 for example, their diffuser aimed at a 60cm tank was £90...

No Stu, they have been around for some year. They are aiming to be high end planted tank specialist, but they do, do marine too.

Their lighting is something ells. 8)

I can find Nothing in Uk, you appear to have a choice between germany/france, Address etc on Italian co website.
I would stick with the ADA lights. :lol:
 
Andy, see the last post of page 5. 😉. They'll sell direct to you but the prices will make your socks come off.

You can actually PM Filipe via UKAPS, just send a PM to FAAO, last time I asked him about the LED luminaire he used on his 60cm tank it cost around 600 euros! I am sure if you wanted any Elos stuff Filipe could ship it here to the UK, its not cheap though!
 


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

One of the ELOS LED lights.

Ive been trying to upload images through imageshack to show you some of what I saw while I was there, but its doesnt want to play ball, so this is all I have to show you. Ill have a think of what I can do to get more up.

Any ideas why image shack is not working very well?
