Shot of the sump area. Made an acrylic baffle with holes and siliconed it in to house some chateo and whatever else.

Good evening, I registered on here just to tell you I like the pics and thread, I've always been a member on Nanoreef since my first 3gallon tank in 2008, and the 2 tanks after that, but never registered on here. In my latest efforts to research a new tank, I've become extremely interested in the Waterbox 45.2 (versus the RedSea Reefer 170), but bummed out by the lack of build threads, to see what people are doing with these sumps, what works and doesnt work.. so I'm definitely looking forward to your updates on this tank, as I'll hopefully be ordering one in the near future.

Glad to see this post. I'm thinking of ordering a waterbox 40.2 frag tank and wanted to pick someone else's brain!
