Joel’s 70g Cadlights Artisan II Reef

[Joel Sandoman]

Well I scored an awesome deal on this in Amazon so I had to take the risk based on reviews I have read online if Cadlights. Gotta say I am impressed with the tank quality. Stand is not too bad either. They of course forgot the skimmer and return pump but from what I have heard the skimmer sucks so not planning on using it long term. The return pump will just be used for water changes probably. Working on getting this thing started cycling this weekend. This is all being done on a limited budget.
Equipment-
Lights- 2 Noopsyche K1 pro II
Return pump- Jebao Dcp 3500
Recirculation- Icecap Gyre 3k
Skimmer- for now Cadlights stock whatever they are sending me
ATO- XTA Duetto

Thoughts on the scape? Just added pics to the main post. Still learning how to use this R2R app.

This was my old cadlight 70. It would be better if you can split the return nuzzle into two outlets. Be careful with the overflow comb part which is fragile and I cracked mine. Otherwise decent tank.

Yeah I was thinking of splitting the locline. Is it a standard part?

Yes it was. I forgot the exact size though you can take some measurements. I got one from BRS

Got it all setup and beginning the cycle tomorrow with some Aquavitro Seed.

I can't even find cadlights on Amazon and only on Cadlights website. Do you mind making me jealous and revealing what you paid in June and do you have any updates on how it's been coming along (photos?). I'm getting a Cadlights regardless just deciding on size.
