AJ69 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Long story short my original CAD 8 which I keep in my office leaked while I was out on vacation with the gang rafting in the Nantahala. I will be using basically the same sand and lr from the original tank, my plans for stocking the tank are LPS,some shrooms and maybe a RBTA OR LTA. One thing that I would like to point is the service / response from the CAD team stepping up and sending me a new tank in a timely manner kudos to Jason and Scott.Hope you enjoy my tank.Tank: Cadlights Mini-II 8gLighting: Stock 2:1 blue/white LED unit (painted black) to be replaced with a NanoboxFiltration: Stock black sponge & live rock in the back chamberMaintenance: Weekly 20% water changes Misc: IM Stream Nuzzle and 50 wt heater (back chamber)Salt: IO-RC Here's a pic of the CAD before it leaked: Link to comment

AJ69 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Here we go.. water,salt & sand has been added a mini sandstorm on the corner of the tank due to stream nozzle I have to figure out aquascaping to avoid this issue. Link to comment

AJ69 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Quick update; I just received from a friend his beloved 5yr Ocellaris pair, the female (misbar orange) is close to 3" and the male is a full black & white (2 1/2 ").I'm contemplating to add this well established pair to the tank, just kidding. I already have the original resident (Photon female) and a male Picasso in the tank. Link to comment

AJ69 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Nanobox is in placed and damn that thing is bright . The lamp quality is superb/amazing , now I need to have the corals use to this light. Any recommendations as photo period? I have the light running for 6 hrs with a 1/2 hr off after 4 hrs running.The Grandis are stressed (closed)due to the light change though the rest of the corals are not stretching at all Link to comment
