So after a pretty short wait for my new Cade 1500 Peninsula, it arrived from Algae Barn today, I can't say that the delivery was a success yet, as the crates arrived in a bit of a mess but it's here and I'll start the unboxing and build as soon as I am not working. Picture trying to show the pallet collapsed under the crates, the delivery guy was like "the pallet is trash, I can get it out of the truck and leave on the road". I persuaded him to try to get it into my garage and we made it most of the way before the pallet collapsed completely and left the 2 boxes stacked but with broken straps, leaning over to one side half way through my garage doorway. I'm not sure if the "fault" here is with the way Cade/AB ship the crates stacked on a pallet (935 lbs) or if the shipping company is just incapable of handling it right, but I have to say the response from AB was quick and helpful, so far I am very happy with their customer support.
I'll be transferring some of the (oversized) equipment from my current 55G corner tank along with the critters, and am looking forward to being allowed to have at least one tang... so far I have just ordered the return pump (Sicce Syncra SDC) and heaters (twin BRS titanium elements on an inkbird). I am planning to build it up slowly and am investigating the potential for a Raspberry Pi based controller.
updates as they become available ......
