My new Cardiff

REEFCRAFT · Aug 14, 2011

I decided to start a much smaller all in one tank and was able to pick this new tank for a fraction of it's cost. I am going to keep it all in one as I am taking a break from all the daily upkeep of having a larger system and dedicating more of my time to other things.

This is the new tank. I guess it's 27g. It's 20x20x20.

I'm either going to run a 250w mh over it with LED's for supps or I'm going all LED. Haven't decided yet. I don't really want to run a chiller on this set up so I'm leaning more towards a LED unit. I still have some nice acans and a few misc coral in a smaller holding tank that are doing great under the LED's now.

Here is my old tank. It was 48x30x20 and is no longer in operation.

Thanks. Picked up a MP10 for it yesterday, getting the stand today and ordering my LED for it tomorrow hopefully. Also have a bubble magus doser to run on it. I think it'll be much nicer than my previous set up, just smaller.

Keep those updaes coming. I LOVE my cardif. They did not do very well in sales cause alot of people don't like the distortion you get but I find that its more like a display piece or piece of art in your home then a typical tank. Very modern and classy look to it IMO. I admit it takes getting used to the effect the glass causes but in the end its well worth it.

I have a 375 regular display stocked full and the cardif still manages to draw attention first when people come over

Can't wait to see what you do with it. I thought your old tank was great, I didnt realize you'd taken it down.

Thanks.

Here's a small update. Color isn't totally accurate, but close enough. Acans and chalice are a bit brighter to the eye than the pics show.
