Cadlights Artisan II 70g

[eel-byte]

Just curious if anyone has any experience with these tanks. I'm downsizing from my 120g and looking at this setup. Planning on running my Skimz sm163 with this tank plus a Radion Pro for lighting.

I have a 70G Artisan II and I love it. Their CS is touchy sometimes but the product is great. I've had mine up for 8 mths now with no issues. I would by again if I was looking for a different tank size.

Can you share pics? What lighting are you using?

Here are some older pics of my 70. The sump was still in the tweeking stage. I'm using an AquaticLife XS series LEDs in the back for my light loving acros and an AquaticLife quad T5 with 3x ATI Blue+ and 1xATI Purple+ bulbs. I have the T5s in the front for lower light corals. Hopefully this will give you some ideas. I love the way it's setup, automated, ATO, BP reactor and carbon reactor.

I have a Cadlights 70g and it's ok, I wish I had waited for the red sea reefer. The tank, sump and stand are good but everything else is garbage. The worst part is the plumbing, it's terrible and they cut obscure holes in the tank so it's not easy to replace.

I'm not too concerned about plumbing. I plan on using my own skimmer and maybe a Vectra return pump.
