New here! Starting new build!! Waterbox 65.4 AIO

[Cryptiic86]

Excited to be moving up from only having nanos to a bigger tank. Lurked here awhile an have learned a ton from this community but only recently made an account. We jumped on a waterbox during a sale and are very happy so far! The tank is beautiful!

When the tank arrived I was happy to see waterbox deliver it themselves in a big box truck with giant waterbox aquarium logo on the side and not a fed ex truck. Build quality seemed very high overall.

We got the caribsea life rock bundle and got to work with coming up with an aquascape.

How is it going ?

Going well! Was planning on an update this week. After those last pictures I filled it up next day and added fritz turbo start and some live rock.

Broke down my nano and sold a few corals off after a few weeks of new tank cycle. I moved my two ocellaris and pistol/watchmen pair after another couple weeks. An most recently added a royal gramma, six line wrasse, chromis and a firefish. Everyone peaceful and happy.

How is it going ?

During that time I also moved some frags to a QT tank and about two weeks ago I moved the racks to the waterbox. Water peramiters all testing good and tank overall running very clean.

As far as accessories go

Sicce sincra silent 2.0
Duetto 2 ATO
Innovative marine 5 gallon ato reservoir
Tunze 9004 Protein skimmer
Aquatop UV sterilizer

I have everything plugged into smart switches and an APC UPS battery/surge unit. Currently running Saxby settings on 50% for light schedule and a mostly random flow pattern schedule.
I am not running the UV sterilizer or skimmer much at the moment and recently placed a few frags on aquascape.

How do you like the depth of the tank ? I also want to buy this one but am a little afraid its not deep enough. You like it so far?
