For those who have Cades, do you feel that they're worth the price? I'm looking at an IM 75 and a Cade S2 900. The IM is 1500 and the Cade is 3500. Is the Cade really worth over 2X the IM?

In my research and talking with other folks, I think the Waterbox is overpriced. They should be priced closer to the Red Sea Reefers IMO.How about Cade vs Waterbox?
Thanks. I might do a little more research. I'm also wondering if Algaebarn would do a Black Friday or Christmas sale on the Cades. That's the other dilemma that I'm having. I would kick myself if there was a killer deal on Black Friday on whatever I end up getting. Spend the time researching I guess.I have a Cade 900, and think it was worth the price. I have no experience with plumbing, but it was very easy to put together and I love how quiet the overflow is.
I think the built-in ATO and the powerboard in the side door are very useful, and I like the construction of the stand. It's also a really lovely looking tank.
No idea. Oh just remembered that Cade does not offer the stand in white. That might be the deciding factor for me.Why is CADE only sold through algaebarn?
What exactly about the stand?Cade tanks are nice but comparable to others. What really sets them apart is their stands.
like @zanthian mentioned the stands are made using 100% waterproof materials with the stand being anodized aluminum and the doors being glass- so no swellingWhat exactly about the stand?
I ended up buying a IM nuvo 75 ext. Even though I've never plumbed a tank before I'm glad that I didn't go the Cade route. Being able to pick the sump, plumb in whatever I want like a UV, manifold, dual pump returns, etc.. is priceless.
I'm going all out with the colored PVC.i feel that. I’m currently working on a 120g oceanic, with a tote sump. First tank ever (well, reef tank) and I already know what I want to do differently with my next tank LOL
