The CADlights 39G Signature is top notch, the HQI is great and the Pinwheel skimmer is super strong and Acrylic too. here are other things i love about the Signature tank that others didnt have:
8mm thick glass
frameless and furniture styling
top quality HQI, LEDHO lights
500GPH
full refugium
cooling fan
Loc-line plumbing
100G Pin-wheel skimmer
i didnt like the Finnex because it looked exactly like the typical AGA 30G pet store style. and you easily can buy and glue acrylic to make those chambers. its cheap compared to the other AIO's but if you add up a 30G AGA ($50) and some acrylic you can make one for much cheaper than $200. the glass is thin. the equipment included is also lower quality and performance and with all theupgrades needed, it just came out to much more money than many of the AIOs available.
i wanted a high quality tank/equipment that had everything from day 1 without modding or spending more thats why i went with the CAD. CAD cabinets are also very strong and high quality, they even offer solid wood Cherry cabinets too.
Agree with every thing here except for the skimmer - it is a micro bubble machine that I think is not very good. Everything else about the 39g sig series is spot on! Love mine except for the skimmer which is why I added a Tunze nano skimmer.
