Topic: CADlights Versa 42 ONE YEAR OLD Posted: August 07 2015 at 2:09pm |
I picked up the CADlights versa 42 a couple weeks ago from Jerry at Reef On. Absolutely love the size and shape of this tank. It is all starfire glass and made fairly well, hubby did take a slice out of his finger on the bottom of the tank due to the glass not being flush or buffed. I just got all the stuff in it last night so I will update soon. We are fixing the plumbing as I wanted to keep my pump I have but the lines were so small it blew the hose off the pump last night:( and I had a bunch of water all over! Hopefully we will get that fixed today and I will be up and running fully. Updates to come... Equipment List: I used a lot of the equipment I had running on the 100G tank on this build. Jecod/Jebao DCT-8000 return pump ATi 24" 8 bulb dimmable fixture 20 gallon long sump Aqua C Urchin pro in-sump skimmer Updated Loc-line for better flow management ATO auto top off Apex Jr. 24" Blue Reef Brite LED UV sterilizer Fish Update: Pair of spotcinctus clowns 2 bangaii cardinals sixline wrasse Starry blenny Lyre tail anthia male Inverts: Emerald crab DISAPPEARED 1 peppermint shrimp DISAPPEARED pom pom crab FTS August 10, 2016 TANK 1 YEAR OLD FTS June 16, 2016 FTS: April 13, 2016 FTS: March 17,2016 FTS: February 8, 2016 FTS Update January 2,2016 DSC00471 by jlstuver, on Flickr FTS December 14, 2015 DSC09930 by jlstuver, on Flickr FTS November 10, 2015 FTS October 5, 2015 FTS September 8,2015 FTS Update August 19, 2015 UPDATE August 9,2015 Finally built the fixture to hold my light and now I can post a few pics. These were just taken with my phone a few minutes after lights on so things are still unhappy. I will post a closer view of the rockwork when everything is happy. The little vintage crate box to the left side is what I use to keep my ATO container in:)

| No it wasn't a crack it's the bottom edge where the glass meets, he was alright just took a nice chunk from his finger.

Trying to decide on what fish to add to this tank. It comes with a glass top which I don't plan to use and I really hate the look of the netting stuff so I will need to choose fish that would be less likely to jump. I'm thinking 1 or 2 clowns, hopefully a pair of bangaii cardinals and.... I would love a trio of anthias but I'm thinking they may jump

It's supposed to be 18" high 18" deep and 30" long when we were measuring it it's only 29.5" long and about a quarter of an inch smaller on the other sizes as well.
