Cadlights vs ?

[Abobis]

Looking at tank & stand combos in the 100-150 gallon class.

Cadlights seems to put together a nice system. Any other manufacturers to consider?

Thanks

I have a cadlights 100 artisan II and love it. For the price not sure you will get anything better.

sc aquariums builds a nice tank, and actually will answer their emails. cadlights wouldn't return my calls or emails when i was looking at having my tank built. they do nice work but their customer service is horrible.

I own a sc aquariums 24g and its decent for the money. Looking into getting a CAD also. Have read that their cs has gotten a lot better lately.

Reef savvy & Elos are super pricey, any other manufacturer besides SCA & Cadlights to consider?

I also have an 2015 Artisan II 100 gallon. You will not be disappointed. I did not have any issues with service from Cadlights, every time I called I spoke to someone who answered my questions. As a side note I deleted their skimmer from my order, not impressed by the reviews it had.

Thanks Tommy. Seems like earlier reviews (a few years ago) on the tanks & stands were so-so.

Glad to hear that you are pleased with your tank.

I love my cadlights artisan II 100g. I'll be having them build a larger tank for me in the future.

Planet Aquariums- They built solid tanks, very nice and affordable.

I can't complain a bit about my the Cadlights Artisan II 100g dt. It is s great looking rimless tank.

I'll second the suggestion to toss the skimmer. It's the one part of my 50 cube I hate.

Thanks Saltwatercoral. Looks as if the 85 gal is the largest aquarium that they make for their packaged aquarium.

Just pulled the trigger on a CADlight 150

Thank you for all of your input

They look very nice but their website doesn't have details for their equipment or pricing.
