Not a Nano: CAD Lights Artisan II Now Available @ MD

[Marine Depot]

We now have CAD Lights Artisan II Aquariums available at Marine Depot!



We'll be setting one of these bad boys up in our office shortly (see related Facebook post with photos).

We will be documenting the build in a new Marine Depot Video series!



The tank is available in 45, 70 (what we'll be using) and 100 gallons in black or white and with or without a protein skimmer (a PLS-100 or PLS-150).

The beautiful stand, thick polished glass, multi-chambered sump, protein skimmer and dimmable LED refugium light are just a few of the highlights.

Hit the site to learn more and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch our build come together!

This is totally on my wish list. I look forward to the build

[gabe3eb]

Glad to get some MD level support behind the product.

Must be nice to be able to set one of these up in the shop.

Can you sell the sumps separate?

Can you sell the sumps separate?

 

I do not see them available separately on CAD Lights' website. Have you seen them sold by themselves anywhere? We're happy to consider any product request! Here is our current sump offerings for reference:

Are these in stock and shipped from MD or are they shipped from Cad?

I have not seen them sold individually before. I was interested because it seems they may be a nice affordable alternative to most pre-made sumps on the market.

Says right on the listing:

 

"Shipped from the manufacturer within 3-5 business days"

I emailed one of our buyers this morning to pass along your recommendation!

 

 

How can we turn this frown upside down?

This tank......

It seems this is a topic we are actively discussing with CAD Lights. Glass sumps are heavy, fragile and expensive to ship. They can make us acrylic sumps, but we already offer economical berlin sumps. What might be nice is a premium acrylic design — an "ultimate sump" — that will make hobbyists happy and arrive safely. Suggestions, anyone?

3 Chamber design. Sock/Skimmer + Refuge + Return. 30" long please

 

Here's a quick MSPaint of the two designs I'm debating for my next build:

MD, I so all over this! If I was getting one of these tanks I would do a custom sump because I like some things in mine that Berlins don't allow.

But these are pretty standard IMO, you can already get these chambers in a 30.

The 100g Artisan II is my next tank when we move to a bigger house. The dimensions on those tanks are just too damn good.

Guarantee me that MD will handle everything if something shows up broken .

[risk1994]

None of the 50g versions offered?

Of course we would take care of you if anything arrived damaged or broken! Just because certain items on our website are dropped-shipped directly from the manufacturer doesn't mean you should expect our service level to drop. Listing that it's drop-shipped isn't supposed to be an indication of "well, you might be taking a risk on this one." Hobbyists expect orders from us to ship the same or the next day, so in that respect, we are trying to temper expectations in terms of shipping/arrival time when we note an item is drop-shipped. But you shouldn't feel like you're taking a risk on any items on our site that state they are shipped from the manufacturer. We (MD + the manufacturer) would work together to handle everything if something were to show up broken.

Any updates on this? I had an old artisan 50g that had a few issues and I got them to send me a new one that was much better. My only complaint was the stand * refuge light (which they fixed on the newest model).

 

I'd love to see how this looks / best lighting combo for it. Could definitely be ordering one

 

Also, did the mesh top come with the package?

They come with a glass top. These tanks are just super nice. They had all of them at RAP this weekend including a gigantic one which is not on their website. It was basically 2x 100g Artisan II's side by side.
