I purchased a CAD Lights tank for $2149.96. This build includes:
- 125 gallon tank
- glass tank cover
- DC controllable 2000 gph pump
- Maple stand w/white piano gloss finish
- 2 matching lamp trees
- 7" sock holder with sock
- 40 gallon sump with 3 compartments
- LED refugium lighting
I decided to try the Red Sea C-Skim 1800 slimmer rated for 300 gallon tanks. It is normally stocked with all "S" series Red Sea setups.
- C-Skim 1800 Protein Skimmer (in sump)
- added a Mag 5 pump for flow to skimmer (500 gph)
Ordered enough live sand for a thick sand bed, 3+ inches to reduce nitrates.
Lighting from Drs. Foster and Smith for $350 each.
- (2) AI Hydra 26 HD
I have heard CAD Lights has a poor reputation for customer service, but so far so good. I feel very comfortable with plumbing, carpentry, etc so I opted to save and see what happens.
Can anyone share their CAD experience with respect to product quality?
