Jackies CADlights 42 versa

[jstuver]

I decided my 100g tank was too much for me so I moved everything to this brand new CADlights 42 versa a few weeks ago.
I was able to do a small modification on my custom built stand and use it for this tank. Which I am very happy about. We built the thing to hold my light and I love the way it tuned out.
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

UV sterilizer

Fish Update:
Pair of spoticinctus clowns

Inverts:

Very nice! Just set one of these up 2 months ago and I'm loving it (except for the crappy stand it comes with---yours is much better)

The camera and I weren't getting along too great today but figured I'd post these anyway, I had also just moved some stuff around so the tank was a bit ticked off at me:







In the middle of this pic is a teeny tiny jawbreaker mushroom

We went on a vacation for 4 days to San Francisco and Monterey for our 19th wedding anniversary. Had an amazing time. Came home sold half my torch and the green trachy plan to get a clam at some point. Tank looked great when I got back so I am happy.

Great looking tank!

Just ordered one today so will be interesting to see how it shows up.....They also have a new stand supposedly so that will be interesting also. Also looking at a ATI set up for lights on mine.

Thanks so much they are some of my favorites although the dang torch likes to sting everyone!

I had the option of getting the new stand and they are definately way nicer than the older version. I had just had my stand built for my previous tank and so didnt want to see it go to waste. Otherwise the new stands i actually really liked. The older versions were pretty ugly though IMO.

November update:
I added my jebao RW-4 a few weeks ago as I was getting some algae but honestly I am not sure it has helped so I have turned it off for a few days to see if there is any difference as I hate seeing it in the tank. I have sold a few pieces of coral and added a few others. Added a bunch of snails and a Halloween hermit crab, I still need to add a few more hermits I think but for the most part they have taken care of the algae I was having issues with on the rocks. I am still getting some diatom algae which is frustrating seems I sold 4 fish and lightened the bioload.
I think I just need more sand snails. I have a conch and a few stomatellas but the Christmas wrasse I sold took care of a lot of my snail population.
Updated stocking list:
Pair of spotcinctus clowns
2 bangaii cardinals

Micromussa I will get a better pic of this when my macro filters arrive next week. I don't have a macro lens right now so I just used my old macro filters and held it in front of my lens so the back side came out pretty blurry. I love the colors in this piece!
