Looks like Waterbox now has tanks for freshwater. Just wanted to give my .02 cents given my experience with my Waterbox 134.5 Platinum Reef.

The pictures on the site look great, but I want to point out that the pricing does not include any filtration. These are not plumbed systems. That being the case, these are WAY too expensive. Also worth noting that canister filter inlets and outlets are designed to hang on a brace, so will be probably be awkward here. Make sure you get a nice background for the tank, pointless to have your wires and hoses show when you dropped $3k on something that should cost maybe $1200.

Customer service has a pretty bad reputation as well.

Just a heads up to my fellow hobbyists.
 
Interesting, thanks for the headsup. I have heard some build issues on serveral other posts, including glass quality, mis-matched return pumps etc.

My experience with their customer service has been very good. Had issues with my tank caused by the shipping company and they more than took care of me. Any questions I've had have been responded to promptly by contacting them via their website and email. I ordered my tank in November.
