theishkid Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 There are starting to be more and more CAD Lights aquariums popping up so I wanted to take the time to put together a list of the owners build threads. I know a lot of these really helped me when researching my tank. There is no way this list is complete, I'm sure there are plenty more. Please make link suggestions to add on to this list!

theishkid Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 ahhh gotchya!! Right on! good idea btw! I just copied off the other threads for different tank brands out there. I know it would have been amazing to have a list like those other brands have for finding build threads quickly when I was searching out my tank. My tank will also be in tomorrow so I'll add mine to the list too! Quote Link to comment

Nano sapiens Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 You missed a few of the old 12g Cadlights...or am I the only one still running one of these Quote Link to comment
theishkid Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 You missed a few of the old 12g Cadlights...or am I the only one still running one of these If you know of more just post the links! Does the 12g have a name like Signature or Artisan? I couldn't find any info on their site. Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 No, this one was unfortunately discontinued a few years ago. It was just called the '12g Nano'. There were a bunch 5-6 years ago, but I can't say if any are still up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment

theishkid Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ok I stupidly stayed up tonight and searched as much as I could on the site for CAD tanks. Please let me know if there are more and I'll continue to add them. I really can't do much more searching without wasting time seeing duplicate tanks. Quote Link to comment
theishkid Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I found a bunch more today, including some that are probably dead threads and haven't had any responses in a long while I also added my own to the 34G mini ii line! Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think that putting all the Cadlights tanks in one thread is a good idea, so thanks for doing this. Great for anyone wanting to see layouts/issues/problems/resolutions/etc. pertaining to their specific tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

theishkid Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 So I'm an idiot and didn't realize that nano-reef was only showing me the last 90 days. I just realized how to search back. I found about a dozen tonight before I got tired. I'll try looking around some more tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
spazizz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Awesome thread, Im thinking about getting the 8 gallon so Im going to check out the 8g tanks you posted. 1 Quote Link to comment
