CAD 39G Signature series 39G VS JBJ 28G nanocube

Should I get this system:

http://www.cadlights.com/product_inf...roducts_id=116

or this one:

http://www.jbjlighting.com/prod-28g-nano-hq1.html

and WHY?

This is an important decision, so I thank you for your help in advance. Also, has anyone ever ordered from cadlights.com? How is there customer support and is that link above a legit website (i have seen a lot of fake e-commerce sites that rip you off)?

Between those two choices, I would get the Cadlight for the full refugium in the back. They both have about the same options. I do not know how each of the stock skimmers perform. So if you do not care for the refugium or the JBJ wavecontroller (you can buy this sperately like a Vortech MP propellor pump) then pick one that looks more astetically pleasing to you.

Cadlight will give you 10 extra gallons and a large footprint. If you need something small and compact then get the 28. If size does not matter get the 39.

Never bought from them, but there are a few very happy Cadlight owners around here somewhere so I doubt that site is a fake.

Thank you for your reply. I decided to go with cadlights due to thier prompt and thorough response to my wave of email questions. So far, Seems as if they have excellent customer service, at least before you buy anyway. I like the bigger foot print, the fuge, and the skimmer is rated for a larger tank an is pin-wheel instead of driven by an airstone.

Gratz, let us know how it goes and post some pictures. I have been going back and forth between the Cadlight with the full refugium in the back and the Elos Mini. I wish they had someone who had merged the two.
