Hey Guys,
My names Andrew and I'm from Western Australia and am brand new to these forums.
Thought I'd start a build thread for my new 60cm x 60cm x 52cm mixed reef tank. Mostly for myself so I can look back at the progress being made, but hopefully some people will enjoy following along too...
Hello,
I have a Waterbox 130.4 ordered and I want to get all of the plumbing parts I need before it gets here. I emailed @Waterbox Aquariums and got the dumbest answer. "There are many different versions over the years, but they are all similar so I'm not sure exactly what you will get."...
I am selling a brand new sump from Waterbox 220.6. Leak tested with a couple of inches of water. I am plumbing to the basement and tying in 2 tanks which means I need a bigger sump than this. Local Pickup only. Details and pics to follow:
Sump Length 32″ (820mm)
Sump Width 19″ (485mm)
Sump...
The build started unexpectedly when I was able to get a 180 gallon tank locally being sold by another reefer. I have been building it slowly. Here's the progress so far, but there's a lot of work that still remains.
Current Tanks:
80 gallon Deep Blue
50 gallon Low Boy
The plan is to set up...

Hi all!

A little behind on the assembly and updates but I’ll start from ground zero. Waterbox 70.3 Plus. Nero 5’s, reef Octo various 4 return, Nyos Quantum 120 Skimmer, AI Prime HD, Duetto ATO nano. Aqua UV sterilizer.
Essentially I’m asking how long could you keep a waterbox tank without having to worry about the cabinet wearing down or the silicone wearing out? This is assuming you clean up any spilt water and don’t scrape the silicone
If it matters I’m talking about the waterbox peninsula 7226
Hi! New to the hobby. I really like the dimensions of the Red Sea Max S-400 but I want a refugium and there is no room for one. I also need a chiller, as I am in FL and we keep the house relatively warm. I plumbed my spot for a RO filter so I don’t need an ATO. I like the waterbox but I keep...

Welp, as some may know I've been reefing since about 2012. I started out with a 2ft cube that I loved and then moved out and in with my partner 4 years ago and took the opportunity to upgrade to a larger system. That tank went well for the first couple years but then after several major issues...

Time to start my build thread. Waterbox 230.6 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Delayed a bit due to Hurricane Dorian. This will be setup in our new beach home we purchased.
This was the last 230.6 made. Thanks to Angela for pulling some strings and making the white stand happen...
I haven't quite made my mind up on this aquascape, and I wanted to see if anyone had any advice/constructive criticism before the new tank gets wet. This is my first time using base rock instead of live rock, so I know it isn't perfect.
So I just got my Waterbox 170.4/5 delivered, and i was plumbing it today and the return line bulkhead was attached wrong. I tried everything to remove it from the fitting, and NOTHING is taking that sucker out... has anyone had the same issues?
I’ve been thinking of upgrading my 33 gallon to a much larger tank and I’ve come down to the waterbox 130.4 or the Red Sea reefer 525
All I’ve got so far is the weir on the waterbox is glass instead of acrylic and is potentially $1000 aud cheaper
But nether have a large enough refugium imo and...
I have a Waterbox 170.4/5 on the way, and it has a 1" ID return hose. I purchased the Ecotech Vectra M2 as a return pump for it, and I was wondering, how did you guys plumb your Vectras? I want to make sure I did it right. Lol! Pictures would be extremely helpful!
Hello Everyone,
I apologize beforehand about my writing, English is not my main language.
This is going to be my first saltwater tank, i thought it was a really good idea to create a Journal, so i can have a project timeline and at the same time get some help from more experienced reefers.
My...
Wassup guys! I have my waterbox 10 gallon and my return nozzle is acting like this! It’s releasing the stuff that was filtered and my water on the filtration is low but if I add any water my tank will overflow, how to fix this!!
Does anyone have any experience with the waterbox 170.4/5 plumbing? I'm wanting to run a Ecotech Vectra M2, but idk what fitting to use to attach it to the supplied return line... I'm sure I'm just an idiot, but any help or advice would be super helpful! Also, if I need to get a different pump...
Hi, I am upgrading to a SCA PNP 50g and want to sell my my other set up. It's a waterbox 20 gallon AIO cube with a black wood aftermarket stand. Its only been set up for about 6 months, in perfect condition. I also will throw in the skimmer, the skimmer is a Macro Aqua m-50 Hang on Back. Tank...
