I have created this thread to share my 100 gallon cadlights artisan ii triton powered system.

There are several corals in the display and I used 2 old hair salon cabinets to house my ATO and Controllers and such.

Enjoy y'all

Only 2 ai primes? I have 2 on my Fusion 20 lol. Guess am blasting my tank.

2 is fine, could struggle with high light corals on the middle and bottom (height wise) in the middle of the tank, but plenty of other corals will do well there.

Tank looks good, lights and everything working great, keep it up.

Thanks guys, I was planning to add another prime in the middle later on or go with two 26’s long ways.

 

[Havoks]

I think a 26 in the middle and those two on the sides would work really good

the two Primes I am using are working just fine, I just wanted to add more for the sake of doing so, I have corals all over the tank and all are doing just fine.

Tank is looking good! I just swung by Cadlights in Rancho Cucamonga this am to look at this same tank. Seems like the tank and glass quality is pretty solid. I'm thinking of going the 2 hydra 26's instead of the AI Primes. Wondering how you are liking the tank, sump and stand quality? I am a little leery, with the stand, as I couldn't really see it first hand and I want something top notch. I am also considering a red sea reefer 425 xl deluxe unit.

I'm VERY pleased with the whole setup. Tank,sump,stand, plumbing is all great. I mean the stand is Def not the best quality. But it looks great and seems to be holding up just fine. If u have the means to get a reefer...I would 100% do it! It's apples to oranges Imo. I was on a budget so the 5-6 hundred dollars I saved by buying the cadlights, I was able to get a Apex and other cool stuff. Lol. Can't go wrong either way
