Well, I've upgraded the past 4 years so why stop now?
I picked up a 70g Artisan Series tank from Cadlights last weekend. I fortunately had the opportunity to pick it up in person and was able to check everything out before I accepted it and I couldn't be more pleased. The high clarity glass is great and the silicone job blows Lee Mar out of the water. I've seen some negative reviews of the stand...yeah, it's pretty weak but it'll do the job without question. I'm going to use it for now but will definitely upgrade to a nice steel stand down the road. The sump that comes with the setup is decent but the pump they provide is way overpowered, glad I wasn't planning on using it anyways.
Here's the plan:
70g Cadlights Artisan (36" x 24" x 18")
Cadlights Stand
Cadlights Sump (upgrading to custom acrylic)
SWC 120 (looking for an upgrade)
TBD Return Pump
2 x EcoTech Radion LED's
EcoTech MP40w ES
ReefKeeper Lite
Seneye Reef Monitor
Most of the rock will come from my current setup although I probably won't use but 1/3 of what's currently in there, I'm REALLY hoping to avoid the "wall" look in this one. I don't have any stocking plans at this point. I'd say it'll be a mixed reef, likely heavy on the acans with some sticks up top.
Once I have some decent pics I'll post them. That's all for now!
