Cadlights 50G Artisan Cube Tank Build Thread

Just took a video of my tank. 21 Jump Street is playing in the background haha. Just click the image to watch.

I'm glad that the clowns are doing so well in your tank Richard!

Love your setup. Was thinking of picking up an SWC 160 Cone Skimmer as well to replace my Tunze Doc 9010.

You should definitely consider getting a mystery wrasse if your tank can handle the bioload. I had two B&W clowns and a mystery wrasse in my 40g cube before I upgraded, and it was a great combination. :)

Yeah I would like a mysteri wrasse but I am also afraid of it jumping out. But I guess yours didn't hmm. And you should definitely get hte SWC 160 cone. It is amazing!

Nice video Richard. Your tank looks great!

Thanks! How is the live rock doing?
 
nice video Richard
what happen to jabel's anemones?

It was in my old tank and it didn't make it. :( I should have waited for the new tank to get it. I am waiting for another one from Jeff. :bounce3:

Looks great! Hows hot is the tank getting with the halide so far?

So far I am keeping it at around 82 degrees. The halides aren't heating up the tank that much. It's more just the weather. When I turn them off it doesn't affect the temperature at all.
 
Just got one of my favorite corals at Apex:

Tyree Red Watermelon and Bazooka Joe:

I also got a nice mummy eye:

And here is how my Dragon Soul/Prizm Favia is doing:

Just an update on the tank. Lot's of the corals changed because I had a small tank crash during the heat wave that happened in July. I got a nice chiller so everything is back on track.

Here is a pic of the chalices and a new goni:

I will take more pictures when I get the chance.
 
Nice update. Looks like things are coming along nicely. I just noticed that CADlights now has a 40g Artisan on their site. No tank-only option yet, but your setup has got me thinking...

Also, how is the SWC 160 settling in? Does the SWC have a true gate valve on the outlet, or is it a wedge pipe with a knob?

Does your damsel bother your corals? mine is starting to be a menace and i just cant imagine what it takes to get him out. those corals are awesome looking.

i asked Eddie and he let me get the new 40G Artisan package without the light. sometimes they can help you with extra requests if you call. im thinking about the 40G cause it isnt so big and has lots more swimming space for fish asides from coral. im just thinking between the LED package and the HQI package.
