Asureef Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I was planning on putting an order out next week for the 40g artisan, but after seeing this, I don't know. I think, getting the 100g would hold the urge for me to upgrade in the future, but what do you guys think about it? Does it seem like a good package? ... The 40g artisan + Maxspect led that I planned would cost around the same, maybe more. I'm not too sure about cadlights led unit though. Here's the link, Cadlights 100g Artisan Link to comment
Polscot Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 i think it'll be a nice tank but i also with 1600$ is a massive waste of money for it when you could get it built with the same quality for cheaper and make the stand a DIY for a bit of extra fun, that tank plus livestock and lighting your in it for 3 grand..........for $1000 u could get a system made and stocked.....but if u have the money then why not Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 for $1000 u could get a system made and stocked.....but if u have the money then why not Sounds like wishful thinking to get a new 100g system with sump, stand, light, skimmer, plumbing, return pump, and star fire glass plus rock, sand, water, etc for anywhere near $1000. Especially if it was "made" and not all DIY. I probably just opened myself up to some ultra DIYer disagreeing though, haha. Link to comment
Polscot Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 check my build, 101g long,. tank was 240$ buying a 100$sump and adding my own baffles, light was $200 skimmer $150 powerhead $100 Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I understand that you can part these things out for under $1000. That is DIY. OP sounds like he is looking for a ready made set-up. CAD Lights probably won't be beat on price here. I'm not trying to nitpick, but honestly, I think $1000 is a lowball price for buying a system. Your system does look great though. I am thoroughly impressed, but a lot of the stuff you used, like the powerheads/wavemakers, are chinese non-name brand items. I also don't think you are going to get any reef capable lighting for this size for anywhere near $200. CAD Lights certainly isn't perfect, but for the OPs sake, its going to be hard to beat.

Aquanist Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Looks nice - comes fully loaded. Why not go for it? If you don't already have any equipment to use in that size range why not get that setup? That's pretty much a double-decker AIO. Link to comment
skonig14 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Also look at Reef Savvy. They make nice tanks I understand that you can part these things out for under $1000. That is DIY.
