Hi, I am starting up this build thread to document my “retired” (A.K.A – never used for intended purposes) Waterbox Cube 7 quarantine tank. Story goes a little something like this… 2020 COVID-19 Peak Lockdown in Australia – I Think, I know what would be good! A nostalgic childhood &...

Update 10/20/2023 Well, the system has preformed beyond expectations and grown corals quicker than what I would have imagined. You can read about the "Bacteria-Powered Reef" in the latest issue of Reef Hobbyist Magazine. Original Post: It feels good to be back! Well, I’ve been back...

Looking at getting a larger (to me) tank. What are peoples thoughts on 50-60 gal systems such as the Red Sea Reefer 250, the Waterbox Marine X 60.2, etc? As well as a thoughts between the two companies (quality, customer service, and such). I am planning on making a purchase this weekend and am...

I am looking for a specific dimension tank, preferably reef ready and rimless. The closest I have found are seapora 75g coming in at 48x18x20 and waterbox's Marine X 110.4 coming in at 47.2 x 19.7 x 21.7. My third option, would be a glasscages tank. I have heard good things about them, but the...

First time reefer here and this is my build. I've gone through a bunch of content here on the forums, Reddit, BRStv Youtube, etc. I intend for this to be a "low maintenance" tank while looking very cool at the same time. Let's see if we can pull this off. Going to focus on keeping the fish...

Hey there everyone. Fairly new to the Sump system since I’ve only dealt with AIO tanks since I first started. I got a used Waterbox 60.2 but looks a bit like the last model. The sump looks pretty straight forward but is there a place for me to add a filter sock in this? I’d love to hear your...

Anyone with any insight into this issue - please let me know. Just set up the new Waterbox 130.4 - did a leak test on the overflow which showed no issued and then turned on the pump. Noticed a leak between the tube and the plastic barb from the return pump hose. Of course Waterbox support is...

Time for a new build! The plan is to do a Mangrove/Macroalgae tank time with the possibility of adding some mushrooms and/or other softies in the future. The tank and cabinet get delivered today. Planned Hardware: Lighting: Hydra 32 Freshwater Pump: Sicce 1.0 Wavemaker: Nero 3 I'm drawing...

So hoping someone could help me find a US vendor selling a waterbox marine x 35.1 (black) that ships. I can only find UK vendors. Waterbox seems to have discontinued them and was interested in this over going with a cube 20 as I like the idea of a sump. I have a 90.3 and love it. Also long shot...

I used to have a nano set up for majority of my reefing time. In August I switched to 4ft 80g lowboy. I have 3 primes over it and that has been working great! Primes can be a bit pricey though. I have like 4 spare tanks in the garage. Looking to set up a waterbox cube 20. lighting is the...

Looking for a marine x 110.4 If you have extras that would be great or even just tank only id be interested. Having the stand would be great but not necessary.

Hi everyone! I have been asking a lot of questions here while I have been setting up my first tank and figured I should start a build thread. It may also help me from doing something stupid ;Shamefullyembarrased For background, my brother has been in the hobby for just under a year and after...

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). AI Prime 16 HD/AI...

I should have started this thread from the beginning, but oh well! I'm only a few weeks into it, so I'll start a list of my equipment and add some photos here as things progress. Aquarium: Waterbox Peninsula 15 gallon Stand: DIY 2x4 stand wrapped in plywood and painted. Heavy duty leveling feet...

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. As this is probably sth pretty personal regarding aquascape, sandbed and livestock I'd love to hear your opinion looking at my tank photos below. 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...
