22 Gallon CADLIGHT

Since my 20 gallon with 20 gallon sump leaked, I have since purchased a 22 gallon CADLIGHT bowfront fish tank. It is beautiful and has amazing filtration and flow (WITH NO MODS!). The return pump is 400 gallons per hour and as you can see a lot of water is being taken out from the overflow. Also, in another picture it shows the 3 chambers in the back of the tank. The middle one is empty. That is were im going to put my sand and macroalgae. I am very satisfied and would recommend one of these tanks to anyone any day. The koralia powerhead you see in there is completely optional i just perferred it. Its like a freaking whirlpool in there! I saved all the water and rock from the old tank and put it in the new tank. I tried preserving the sand but it dried up really fast overnight so i didnt want to use it. Didnt want to take any chances. Sorry for the finger-printed and dirty tank i just got done aquascaping and just took the pictures right after. Cant wait to get coral and fish in there!

For the tank specs, i got the 56 watt light because the 98 watt was just too expensive (well i didnt have that much at the time). Maybe ill upgrade later on. As you can see, the lights pivot up and down for maintenance and aquascaping. Its actually pretty cool. The total price + shipping and everything for everything was $408.00 No tax cause im out of state Anyways its a great plug and play system that comes with literally everything fitted and put in the respectful spot as soon as you open the package (filter media, bio-balls, return pump, tube and fitting already installed just needed to plug it in) I would recommend this system to anyone and everyone ;D Please tell me if you have any questions or comments.

 

and some more...

 

And one more ;D ...

 

nice!

those pivotting lights are sick!

are they t5?

 

Thanks and ya their T5

 

Im really hoping that the tank doesnt go through that big of a cycle considering i took all the water and rock out from my old tank and put it in the new tank. Any guesses on when ill be able to start putting corals and fish in here taking into consideration the above information?

 

I really like your tank. I cant wait to see some fish in it. I never seen a setup like that but its definately pretty neat.

 

idk i dont think it will take as long since you just moved the stuff but still a while.

 

looks friggin sweet, may consider one of these as a replacement for my 24g jbj, really not much more for this entire setup than what it'd cost me to just get a nice light to replace the crap one on my jbj

 

ok who is in favor of me re-aquascaping? cause now is the time with no fish or coral in there to do it. So, should i leave it the way it is or try to build taller? (try to encourage me not to change it ;D ) I know T5's are known to penetrate deep so it doesnt really matter but i like the rock to be stacked high... I have plenty of leftover rock i just put it all in my dads tank...

here is my aquascape now...
