Dirty secret time. I buy and sell used reef gear to support my hobby. Whether it's a full system, a cheap piece of gear from an upgrade, or a (fixable) broken piece of kit, a little bit of vinegar and "sweat equity" goes a long way to making an expensive hobby affordable. The general strategy is...

I’m looking to get an AIO chamber cover made preferably out of black acrylic so it looks good. I have a waterbox 20 and I would like it to basically just extend the back glass of my display and the sides of the AIO chambers by about 4” to help hide equipment and wires and also prevent algae...

Hello everyone, We’ll start this off with a little history lesson. I grew up with various freshwater tanks including one right outside my bedroom window in the form of a 400 acre lake stocked with a multitude of different fish and animals. Growing up I visited aquariums over the years and...

Intro: I've been away from reefing for a decade. With the fast pace of life, I have missed the patience and focus that this hobby required for success. I'm excited to get connected back into it. I have never done a build thread, but felt it would be a good practice to record the activity for...

Hello everyone, I've been out of the hobby for about 6 years but i had been quite active in the hobby prior to that dating back to 2002. I had 3 tanks in the past, a 85 gallon half hex, 29 biocube, and 20 gallon standard tank. My kids are now at the age where they have taken a real interest in...

So I broke down one of my fresh water planted tanks to do a rescape, and after looking at it empty and sanitized for a few weeks I got the crazy idea to make it into my first saltwater tank. I can say I’ve never spent as much time on any site as I have here researching. So I’m excited to keep a...

Well, after starting over 2 months ago, I figure I ought to start an official tank thread so that I can post updates and others can follow along on this journey. I posted in the welcome page about 1 month ago, but I’ll provide a few tank specs so that you can follow along. I have a rimless...

Hello all! Thank you for checking out my salt water journey! I have a lot to learn am excited to see what happens! I will be listing details in this thread of major events of the tank (dates of set up, new additions, w pictures!) Note that all equipment was cleaned prior to any use. Please also...

I started back into the hobby 4 months ago and forgot how much patience is required. My nano tank is still pretty new, but I decided I want a little bit more space and a cleaner setup for the long term. So....instead of keeping my little practice WaterBox for a year and then starting a new tank...

Hopefully this will help some people. This is a video of a tank I put together showing the flow through the tank using the above mentioned equipment. The Jebao Pump is set at W1, Speed 3, Knob turned all the way to slow, using a RFG nozzle off a Coralife S-1000 pump. Hopefully you can see the...

I'm in the process of setting up my first saltwater tank. It's a 60 Gal cube with a custom 20G High as a sump. I'm finally at the stage of leak testing my plumbing. However, I can't get it to maintain a consistent water level in the overflow box. I'm using a Herbie overflow and can't seem to...

Hi everyone! First time reefer, forum-er, acrylic tank builder (65L, 17 US Gallons). The purpose of this thread is to give 'live' updates of what I'm doing/buying (with their reasons) so that: 1) I can keep track of my tank for posterity (if I can get anything to live in it!!) 2) Other brand...

Hi All - I have a Waterbox 20 cube that has been setup for ~6 months so far. Tank has been pretty stable and the newer SPS frags I have put in have been doing well thus far. Looking for some thoughts on what I should do next. Interested in adding a fish (potentially if I can find room in...

Hello R2R, We have created a quick and concise video guide series on setting up our CUBE 20, from unboxing to adding fish and coral. Follow along step-by-step with us as Waterbox MVP Jess sets up our newest aquarium in the Waterbox Studio. This is a great walkthrough for anyone who is new...

Hi, I had a Marine Land 60 gallon cube rimless. Cracked in the middle of the night. I'm really having nightmares and afraid of this happening again. My stand was custom build and level. Didn't have too much gravel and after 3 months my tank was done. I have been looking for a replacement and...

There have been reef tanks in my household from the day I was born thanks to my dad. I've been personally reef keeping on my own since 13? I don't recall, it was a long time ago. I'm not 31, my wife and I purchased our first home and are expecting our first baby in November. I'm ready to setup a...

Hi! I just bought an AI Nero 3 for my Waterbox Cube 10. I wanted to know what are your settings/schedule and its placement! No corals at the moment, but eventually. Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm getting back into the hobby after a year off due to work commitments. I really missed it. So, I've gone with the Aqua Nano 40 Cube (40x40cm) for my tank. I thought of buying the stand for it but realized that I could DIY one for a fraction of the price, so I've given myself this...

I have all of the necessary plumbing: PVC/Bulkheads/Locline Return. It also comes with a glass lid that has a folding portion. The sump is roughly 25 gallons. $150 for everything. Thanks for looking!

Would like to buy a large cube setup, 90 gal +. Need it to have a stand and canopy. Located in Miami, Florida 33189. PM me what you have.

Hi all, I’ve got a new Waterbox Marine X 35.1 aquarium that I’ve had set up for <1 month thus far. I have a few soft corals and two RBTA which are all doing well, and two clownfish. My plan for this aquarium is to do an SPS dominant reef with a few zoanthids and mushrooms. Currently in my sump...

Hello fellow reefers, Looking for some advice on lighting my tank, as I am not happy with the current visual aesthetic. I have a 165W black box (actually don't know the brand, got it from another reefer who said "it was the best around 2014"). My first corals (LPS and Zoa) are doing great and...

Hi All, I have a 24 cal cube, looking to keep LPS ands softies along with fish. I currently have 2 Ocellaris clownfish and would like to add in the future (in order of preference) helfrichi firefish Diamond Goby Pistol Shirmp Bangii Cardinal (2?) Would this be okay in regards to compatibly...

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...
