i would bust if i had the $$. their tanks are sweet but their stock lighting/skimmer is not all that great. i would definitely get tank only and go with a different light combo. the one you listed is a nice combo! you gonna pull the trigger on one? hehe

looks very nice but $399 for a 39g seems to be a bit much.

399 for a 39 is reasonable when u have RSM 34, and JBJ 28 NC's for 500+

I've heard however that the quaility is very poor, cheap lighting, weak glass constrution.. I' personally have heard too many complaints with these Cadlights... Still beautiful tank however.

Their tanks are solid, ime. Lighting/ballast is another story.

I'm think of getting this tank and the Outer Orbit 1x250w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x24W T5 HO & 12 Lunar Light to go with it. For both it would be $800, Anyone who has Cadlights tanks I would love some feedback, Before I let $800 GO.

racksteris - i would wait until you get some feedback on their new tanks and lighting system. maybe cadlight stepped up the quality on their lighting fixtures with this new series.

its definitely not cheap but i think its worth it cause the tank looks really nice if you see it in person. my 22G Cad looks better than any other tank i have seen. so for $399 you get the tank, built-in overflow box fittings and glass canopy. you just gotta get an AGA 10G for $9 and a $70 pump choose your light and you are ready to go.

its the same size as the 39G Signature that i am ordering tomorrow. for $300 more you get all the other equipment (HQI, LED-HO) , 100G skimmer, UV sterilizer, cooling fan, refugium too. i prefer the Signature package myself, especially since i am not to good of a DIYer.
