Never heard of them before. Look pretty nice but that website needs to be better. Gives no details on each system. Images look like modified AIO tanks with a false wall. Maybe they are? I cant tell.

I saw some Cade tanks in person at Reefstock Denver today (in the @AlgaeBarn booth) and they look great. Really nice build quality, nice features, and from what they told about me the retail pricing is relatively low for what you get compared to some of the other tank builders. Definitely going to look into them.

They are all complete systems with a sump(and depending on the size, refugium). We appreciate the feedback on the website, we are working on the website, it was a bit of a rush job.

The tanks are made using a propreitary ultra-clear low iron glass (OptiClear). Stands are shipped PREBUILT and include a glass sump. The stands are made with annodized aluminum, so they will last a lifetime. Plumbing takes about 5 minutes (no gluing, just unions and bulkheads)

Here are a couple photos:

CADE Pro-Reefer systems has tanks in 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, 6ft long

The PR2-1800:

Total Capacity is 207 Gallons

Display is 171 Gallons
ATO reservoir (built into the back chamber/false wall) is 15 gallons
Sump is 34 gallons

Tank Dimensions: 1800mm x 700mm x 600mm (LxWxH) - 5.9ft x 2.3ft x 2ft
Cabinet Dimensions: 1800mm x 700mm x 900 mm (LxWXH) - 5.9ft x 2.3ft x 3ft

They are taller than the average stand, but they are not too tall to make tank work annoying.

Most important question of all: Can you remove the word "Cade" from the right corner of the tank? Even a tiny scratch on the front glass already irk me so imagine the big fat "Cade" word in the right hand corner. Hopefully it is just a sticker that is removable like with Innovative Marine tanks.

I don't see prices for anything on their site. Am I missing something?

Interested in the PR2-1500. When will we be seeing them on the market?

Are these stands cast aluminum or are they assembled with Stainless steel hardware like most other aluminum stands? If they do have stainless steel hardware I would hazard against making statements saying they will last a "lifetime" as the hardware definitely won't...

They are actually laser etched in the middle of the thickness of glass.

And for the USA models we will be importing, they will much much smaller and lighter (the panel on the left).

Great question @JoshH, they are extruded aluminum and anodized. The hardware is stainless 316L and CADE Australia has yet to see any issues with rust on the hardware. But, it will likely be the longest lasting piece of equipment for your aquarium

I myself have owned a one of the first Cade Pro Reef S2 900 since they've become available in Australia! Gotta say you will not be disappointed with the setup and quality.

Ive covered the tank a few times on my youtube channel.Heres a video of the man behind Cades design Adam Dalton at Reefstock Australia last year.

And here is my setup and install of my tank at home!

Any questions feel free to sing out!

These look like they will be really nice tanks. Could you give a little bit of info on the s2 600? Also, could you share how much it will cost?

Here is a description of the sump.

The tank has an integrated 3.4 gallon ATO, 13 gallon sump, and 57 gallon display area for a total system capacity of 70 gallons.

Pricing will be $2000 delivered, and since we are currently arranging preorders (we are aiming for arrival at our facility in about 12 weeks), we can offer a $200 discount with prepayment.
