Peninsula OPINIONS , CADE OR RS

Good afternoon!

Planning a tank setup for later this year. Budget for tank is $5500

It’s an office space and I have the perfect spot for a 4 foot peninsula / MAYBE 5 foot. I just finished tiling the floor. Behind the wall is my laundry room with racks which is perfect for my controllers etc.

I was considering the Cade 1200 peninsula. Does anyone have a bad experience with Cade ? I don’t see many builds but I never heard a bad experience

Thanks for all opinions !
I have all my equipment already from my current 100g redsea that I broke down.

CADE makes some really nice tanks. I haven't heard anything bad about them yet. I watch Parker's Reef on youtube and he interviews people with CADE tanks a lot. He's based out of Australia and CADE is an Aussie company. The video below isn't a peninsula but it is a CADE 1200.

Cade tanks get good reviews. I would highly recommend looking at Innovative Marine and their peninsula line. Crazy good sale right now for them as well. They say 4-6 month lead time but I swear everyone I see order one has the tank in 5-6 weeks.

Cade 100% if you’re comparing to Red Sea. Cade is wider, and the fully assembled glass cabinet is quite impressive in itself. I think the clear silicone, while a seemingly small detail, adds to aesthetic, or at least doesn’t detract from it like black silicone.
