Hi guys!!

After a hiatus on reef/saltwater im back lol

I just purchased new this Cade S2 500 tank, its absolutely stunning and cant ask for a better quality built tank.

Im just looking for some suggestions regarding livestock.

Its display is 30 gallons

Im wanting to mainly keep it a fowlr tank but will put some soft corals in there and potentially some lps down the track.

I want to try and stay away from clownfish.

Any suggestions for this beauty?

The rockscape is going to be a tall bonsai shaped rock

thanks!!

Thinking of buying one of these. Is it correct to say that if you are going to mount your lights on the rear, then you have to remove the cover for the overflow? And will the included lid still fit if you rear mount your lights?

Any updates? I think you have the only build thread for the 500 on the internet!

Hehe.

I sold it and went back to freshwater. It was an amazing tank though!

I was tired of constantly going to Lfs for saltwater, and worried if I left the tank for holiday. And now I’ve got a waterbox 25 with harlequin rasboras and looking for an apisto pair to breed.

the tank itself was amazing, I wish Cade made smaller type peninsulas as they would take the market over for sure.
