Recently tore down a Waterbox 10 and moved everything over to a Innovative Marine 25 Lagoon. I kept the Waterbpx and turned it into a sump that houses a Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer (when needed) as well as a refugium to grow chaeto and house pods. I used the provided mighty jet pump to send water from the Waterbox back up to the main tank and have a sicce nano pushing water from the main tank down to the sump.

As for my equipment, I am running the following:

Kessil AP700 with two T5s
Sicce 1.5 with RFG Nozzles
Nero 3
Dual Ehiem heaters with inkbird
XP Aqua ATO
2 Kamoer X1s (not dosing yet)
IM UV Sterilizer

Now for the pics!

Tank looks fantastic. Any concerns with failures using a pump as your overflow? I'm curious how you set this up. What happens if either of these pumps shut off?
I appreciate that, no concerns at the moment. I have check valves on the lines leading to and from the sump. I can take a few pics later of the plumbing.

Few new pieces added lately. Three new wall hammers, frogspawn, another trumpet, acan, chalice. I also witnessed my clowns laying eggs, pretty cool experience.
