Cadlights 9g Pictures/Aquascaping

[advice1]

This is my first nano tank, set it up over the weekend, and go the Sand/LR yesterday. The place I went to only had really large pieces of their cured LR, so I got this semi-cured LR. Im pretty happy with it at the moment and would like to see what some of you think.
Ill start it off with some random photos and then the tank photos.

Anyways, Enjoy
(hope I did these pictures right)

Alright, I messed up on the photos, don't know how to fix them.

looks like good rock.

I added two little pieces of rock that I broke off of a larger piece that I have.. They are on only by gravity I guess.. is there anyway to use like frag glue(i think i read of something like this) to attach it? Or will it grow into the other piece of rock?

Your tank is looking good. I also have a 9 gallon cadlights tank. I'm curious, what lighting did it come with? It looks like you're running one light fixture.

Yeah, I also realized that.. just looked on the site and it said that it came with 2 switches and like 4 lights.. this one has two. Ganna call up CAD and order a new fixture soon I guess.

Yeah, looks good. Keep up the good work.

Great rock tho I like how bright and clean everything looks. Keep us updated

Mine came with two fixtures. Be sure and let them know yours only came with one light fixture. I'm sure this was just an oversight on their part, but I would definately get the other light fixture.

sir_dudeguy, the link is http://cadlights.com/

I also have two fixtures. One has two 10k lamps the other has two actinic lamps. If both of yours are blue you need one with 10k lamps. If its white you need one with actinics.

Mine has one of each..wierd..

Any of you have a picture of yours with two fixtures?

Mine also came with one of each...in two fixtures. I upgraded my lighting to the sunpod so I don't think I have any pics of it with the two fixtures.

Sorry I'm still need to get a tank thread started and then I'll be able to post pix.

Note that the model I bought was $165 and as stated included 32 W of T5. Thats 4 8W lamps. If that's what you bought IMO they owe you a fixture. I don't see any option on their website for a single fixture .... here's a paste from their website. I don't see any option to buy a single-fixture 9g tank.

I bought it at a LFS.. Emailing CAD now though.. I may possible have an older model so it only came with one

 

[dastratt]

I'm interested to know if they'd sell the fixtures separately since they don't show them on the site.

(They show a 6 bulb 24" T5 which might work great for my 54g)

Know any place to get the lamps for the 9g light besides Cadlights?

im also interested in getting new bulbs, cadlights seems to ignore my emails. they sent me one, that arrived broken, and then i never got a replacement.
