I just got my cad lights 4 Gallons.  I had a good experience with customer service and the price was great.  Anyways I have been pleased so far with the tank.

I agree. Its too bad Cadlights cannot get their stuff together. They have awesome stuff but just have poor management. They need to be acquired by a company that can execute and the brand could be massive and trusted.

Hi

I cannot speak for this tank directly but I have the 70G and have had a few problems. Although Cadlights has fixed the issue it took them a long time and were not proactive in fixing anything.

The issues I mostly had were related to a sump and protein skimmer but I'm not sure if that tank has them.

Overall I am happy with the looks but had many thoughts of quiting from it. I would buy again from with very low expectations. I actually got all the help I needed on it from a couple of users here.

After looking around a lot I am planning on  ordering the CAD Lights 18G AIO for my first nano. My only concern is that I don't see many of them up and running  currently. Has anyone had one that would be willing to give me some good feedback? I love the rimless cubes and was originally looking at some of the Innovative Marine AIO's but after seeing some of the horror stories on forums I am leaning towards CAD Lights. Any feedback/suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!]]> Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:39:27 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74627&PID=582813&title=cad-lights-18g-miniii#582813
