I'm taking this slow so I'm going to be documenting my experience and build here. I'm still waiting on the delivery of the Cadlights Artisan II 70 Gallon, and the stand. But, Cadlight shipped out the ATO reservoir, filter sock holder and six 4" filter socks. So I just got those.
Well packaged.
The reservoir surprisingly does not have a lid...? I would think this would increase the reservoir's evap. Is this a problem? It is still nicely made. The glass seams are clean and all around a sharp looking reservoir.
I could imagine turning this into a really awesome modern freshwater planted bonzai mini tank.
Here's some pics.
Anyone know who could make me a fitted Acryllic lid?
And here's the Cadlights cast acryllic sock holder. Really sturdy quality. Polished edges.
I also went ahead and purchased 5 filter socks. One came with the filter holder. Based on research it seems like 6 is a good rotation setup.
Again, the quality appears nice. I don't know if Cadlight manufactures their socks. My guess is not.
This weekend I wil be "attempting" to build a saltwater mixing station...at least start.
