opinions on Cadlights?

Saw a used Cadlights classic 29 gallon (reef type tank with built in back filter, like an eclipse) for 275 or best offer. Has light, heater, stand looks a little shabby.

Are they good stuff or nothing special? The filter area looks huge, stuffed full of foam and ceramic I would think it would do a good job.

Cadlights tanks are amazing. Can't go wrong even used

I have a 6 gallon cadlights tank and I have to say I was disappointed in the build quality. I actually bought an evolve 4 instead of using the 6 gal. The back is not siliconed properly and there are gaps between baffles which make the filtration not really work. The customer service is also very bad. Would not recommend.
