Hello from Cincinnati Ohio

Hello looking to upgrade to larger tank. Currently have a jbj nano 20. Looking at both the waterbox frag 85 and 105 and the Fiji cube 57 and 76 shallow. Would like some feedback on what people think of the two brands.

Are you think frag tank or just a shallow lagoon setup?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

I have never had any of those brands but have heard that waterbox aquariums are very nice. That would be my choice.

welcome aboard the r2r board! if price isn’t an issue i’d go with the biggest tank of your choices to avoid having to upgrade later on

Welcome to Reef2Reef! IMO I would go with the Waterbox 105 as you will have better options with your stock list and bigger is always better ;)
I myself have a RedSea so I can't speak on Waterbox but I haven't heard anything bad.
I would recommend stopping into Aquarium Artisans in Springdale OH if you haven't already. I have visited them multiple times when I'm in the area and I am always impressed with their selection of both livestock and dry goods. Their staff is always very helpful with any questions.

Welcome :) All are nice tanks, depends on what you plan to keep. Best of luck with your decision!

I vote WB105. Welcome to R2R!

Welcome! Glad you joined. Going to defer to others as not familiar personally with any of those four, so I'm also unable to vote.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). You might consider doing one for current tank if you are keeping it going and then do one for your tank you are planning, though you will only get 1 badge even if you do two threads over in Forum > Members Aquariums.

Welcome! Can't speak to any of those tanks since I run red sea. Check out cincyreef - maybe some locals would have a personal experience. Also the local frag swap is next month (Jan 21). Come check it out!
