Thanks for posting 😊 this is a great video showing in good detail the Cade cabinet and plumbing

Im trying to move this year and will be getting a new tank as well. Im thinking of getting the Innovative Marine 150 ext. Theres a really good sale on it right now. Will be following ur channel for sure

[@d2mini]

The IM tanks look nice. If I had the space, I probably would have gone with the 112 or 150. Love the big cube/deep dimension tanks.

You're back!!! Lol - I just noticed because I was looking up your old life reef system.

[@d2mini]

LOL, yup! If you didn't get here through Reef2Reef, my build thread is in the description. 😉

[@reefarrangements]

I’m so jealous that is the exact model I want for my room to

Hi Dennis, thanks for the video! my s2 600 was delivered last weekend, it did help me go thru the setup. Btw did you use the flexible hose provided for the return pump? yours looks different than the one I got. Waiting for my Vectra S2 to arrive to start the party.

[@d2mini]

Cool! Glad it helped! Yes, that is the tubing that came with mine.

[@JonesJones-np2kq]

Is that little black plate removable that’s holding the filter sock? So you can get flexible hose through there for a filter roller 17:01

[@d2mini]

It's a glass sump so yeah, you'd just have to cut the silicone holding that piece in. Cade knows that one sump won't fit everybody so they designed it this way and there are a few filter rollers that will fit. I think the Clarisea Gen3 is pretty popular.

@@d2mini thanks for the response!

[@smeshfactory3992]

Nice looking tank but it's such a shame such expensive aquariums sump's still aren't adapted so you can easily remove filter stocks to replace with a fleece filter, it's such an obvious thing to do.

[@d2mini]

True. But at least with the glass sump, all you have to do is cut through the silicone to remove the sock holder. Lots of people have dropped in fleece filters in these.

[@smeshfactory3992]

@@d2mini I understand but given how long fleece filters have been available there's NO reason these tank manufacturers cannot make the sock filtration compartment easily removable without having to go around cutting silicon. A tank manufacturer called D-D in the UK offers their sumps with a Clari-Sea or filter sock option.

3:20 I feel like zero work was getting done that day...

[@d2mini]

Not a dang thing. 🤣

[@hv9629]

Can you carry the tank by yourself?

[@d2mini]

I would not attempt it. Not only is it heavy, it would be too awkward to get a good hold on it. Having an extra person makes it pretty easy.

[@hv9629]

@@d2mini I guess so, i'd imagine it to be over 100kg. I contact Cade and they said depending on strength but i doubt any body can unless they are body builder. Your window watching is so accurate haha.

[@enhncr]

Great video. I can see this bastard really good :) how easy is to remove filter sock holder? Thank you.

[@d2mini]

My holder is still in there but from what I've seen all you have to do is cut through the silicone with a utility knife.
