My question is would it be worth it to buy this? (space is a huge problem for me)... i was going to be keepin some corals (soft and hard) along with a few fish... ....

also would i have any problems with this tank? what would i have to upgrade?

and has nayone owned one of these before? if so how are they?

Has been alot of quality issues with Cadlights. Might check out the glass Finnex tanks or the Solana's by CurrentUSA....similar and a much higher quality. My choice is Finnex

i second finnex glass. you can order it with or without lights and skimmer.

CAD sells the tanks only, you just have to ask them(it's not on the website). I got the 22g from cadlights and was only 100bucks. The finnex tank only for the 20 M-tank was 200. Cadlight makes good tank just there lighting units and pumps suck. I got the tank only b/c i got a diff light, and am putting my own pump on there anyways.

Agree with Mike. Go with their tank only and get different lights, pumps, skimmer, etc. I would go with something like a Sunpod HQI for lighting and a Tunze skimmer. The seamless/rimless look of the CAD tanks is quite nice.

Aquacave is selling the 30g finnex for ~$390 with T-5 lighting. Thats a pretty good deal

the 39G signature is the best package on the market now. it comes with an awesome light pin-wheel skimmer (100Gallons), UV sterilizer, 500GPH refugium and lots more. it is put together as a much more professional tank than the other "cubes". also the seamless design is beautiful. i have a 22G and am waiting for my 39G to be ready for pick up.
