My Second Tank: Waterbox 20

[Ckdada]

So I just picked up a second tank, a brand new Waterbox 20 for $180. Honestly that price for the tank you get is amazing and I think it looks nicer than the fusion 20. I'm planning on taking this tank to college in the coming year. I also really want it to be SPS dominant but I am worried about moving it and etc.

Equipment:

• Waterbox 20 - $180
• Stock Pump
• Stock Filter Sock
• 2 Sponges (Came with)
• Bio-Balls (Came with)
• Marine Pure Gems - $13
• AI Nero 3 - $150
• AquaTop 100W Titanium Heater - $50
• 12 Pounds CaribSea Base Rock - $80
• 20lbs Special Grade sand - $20
• Dr Tims Ammonia - $4
• Fritz Turbo Start 1oz - $12
• Red Sea Coral Pro Salt - $80

Now for lighting I either want a Radion XR-15 gen 4 pro or a Hydra 26, I found both for sale used for $200 with mount. I wanted to hear some opinions on the two, I am very familiar with AI and love the app without having to spend an extra $100 for a controller but as far as PAR and colors I'm not sure.

For livestock, heavily SPS, mostly easier acros, montis, and birdsnests. Not sure what I want for fish, what are some good options? I have a reefer 350 as well so any baby fish would be upgraded, would it be too small for a tiny tang? What are some other options? For inverts I plan to have a brittle star, 8 astrea snails, and a tiny urchin.

Will do, do you run a skimmer?

I’ve got a Tunze9001 in mine, and I mostly wish I didn’t bother. Unless you’re going to pack fish in here, water changes ought to be enough. And with 20g, a weekly 10% is basically nothing.

I use the eshopps nano skimmer

Sounds good

Following. I plan to do another nano and I’m going this route in March . I think waterbox cubes are great.

What do you plan to use for lighting?
