I have 15 gallon shallow reef and spare 22 gallon CADLIGHT laying around.
Upgrade time.....


22 gallon CADLIGHT AIO, but the display is too narrow, so I decided to take out the whole in the back filter.
4x 24 W HO T5 with ReefBrite All blue LED supplement.
10 gallon sump from my current set up. I am going to connect it when the rock is cycled.
NAC 6 protein skimmer or CAD Pipeless Nano Skimmer.
Maxijet 1200 as return pump.
Powerhead : koralia 1 or Tunze 6025 (from my tank) or Vortech MP10, or Tunze 6095 wide flow.
200 watt Eheim heater.


Tanks with whole back filter removed.



Leak test. passed.



Sand and rock in.



Add CADlight Pipeless skimmer ( NAC 6 is still on other tank)
 
about 2 months, here is the outcome.
