Due to Covid and a myriad of life issues, I haven't had a reef tank for the last 2~ years. I plan on going into 2022 strong by setting up a 200g SPS dominant reef tank taking what I've learned over the years, going slow, and doing it right.
The Specs
Tank: Waterbox Reef LX 270.6 (263g total...
Alrighty so I have been the king of rimmed and Craigslist aquariums for along time but have always had the dream of one day upgrading to a nicer system from either Red Sea or WaterBox. Well the day finally came where my wife broke down (I bribed her with new laminate floors) and I ordered my...
Was curious if this AuqaShield 9 Watt UV Sterilizer fits inside a WB 10 cube where the sock would be - if not what is being used instead and where was it placed?
thanks!
After 3 years and 1000s of hours of youtube researching (I think I have watched every BRS video available) and learning coral reef biology with my mixed reef 65 gallon tank I have started my next reef project. I feel like Ryan and Randy are family!! I have purchased the Waterbox Reef XL 270.6...
I recently bought a used waterbox 100.3 and am working now on setting it up. It is used, and as i'm working on plumbing i realized I am missing the t pipe that connects the return line to the nozzles, and the nozzles themselves. The nozzles I'm sure I can order, but I'm not having any luck with...

Christmas came early this year! Took advantage on a sweet Black Friday Deal and got myself a Waterbox 20 Cube w/ Stand. Luckily, I had a lot of equipment from my Evo 13.5 that I reused on this tank (in all honesty it was overkill for the 13.5, but it’s perfect for the 20).

I always see questions along the line of; Should I add pump to make my chaeto tumble?
I don't want to get into the discussion whether that's required/good for chaeto growth here. I just wanted to point out that usually the flow through the sump is enough to make chaeto spin. The flow just needs...

Hi all,
I'm fairly new in the hobby and I would like to ask for some advice regarding flow for a peninsula 527L-140Gallon.

I'm really struggling if...
I thought I would start a build thread to hopefully give a little back to the R2R community. Hardly an expert but I figured I would document the build and my impressions of the gear I installed in the hopes I would help someone else make a better decision on a piece of equipment. After watching...

Hi,
in the coming month I’m going to order my first reef tank. However, I’m having a hard time deciding between the WB reef 130.4 or 180.5. They both fit my budget, although, I have a little more extra to spend on the 4ft one if I decide to go with that one. My question is, will I regret if i’m...
Hey Everyone,
As I mentioned in my introduction, I'm getting back into the hobby after a solid 10-year hiatus. The last tank I had was a second hand 75-gallon with less than ideal equipment. It was a mixed success but without the appropriate resources, I decided to shut it down. Now, I'm...
