So, waterbox is waiting on their containers before they can ship? I thought they were the builders? If not, where are they made?

4 strong guys prob. can move it but why push it..haha

not much info out there on social media about these. wish there was more but look like amazing tanks.

I think most if not all non custom tanks are made over seas. China I believe. Elos, SCA, red sea waterbox.I often wonder if there all made in the same place then rebranded?

You are correct, waterbox, red sea, elos and SCA are all aquariums made in China. This is what waterbox means when they say they are waiting on there containers. Usually means they are on the ocean and once waterbox receives them after customs then they can be shipped out.

As for whether or not they are made in the same factory that is also likely possible. I know Red Sea has there dedicated factory in China but outside of that I'm not sure.

And @oceanarab can't wait to see this build come together!!

the made me sign a freight policy. They told me once it’s signed . The tank will get shipped. Looks like it’s coming soon!!!!

Hell YES!!!

I am happy for you good sir. I 'll be coming along for the journey, if I lived by I would come help you move it in too.
I really REALLY want one of these tanks now.

just cant decide between a peninsula that i will have to run like a regular tank until some unknown time in the future or the standard tank.
I dream of a peninsula but who knows if I ever will have a place for it. so prob. 230.6 standard if they have em in stock .

I was just writing up my stocking list. what do you plan fish wise for this bad boy?
