Newb to hobby, just got the waterbox 100.3

[nhl.hoang1213]

Need ideas/pics on custom plumbing for my waterbox 100.3. OEM plumbing is cool but I want to set the sump far left and add a manifold for future. Any designs that can assist me? Thank you in advanced.

Great first tank, start a build thread so we can follow your build.

Thanks! My buddy helped me with it. Right now it’s curing for the past 2 weeks in a 32g brute. Hoping to get my tank wet in 2 weeks if I get this custom plumbing thing done. Thanks to Nick Kohrn with the YouTube video about converting fittings I’m ordering those pieces. Just need help with a design.

If you post this same thread in the general equipment discussion you may get more people that have a waterbox that can help you with the plumbing.

Nice setup! Welcome the the forum! Will follow along to see how it all turns out.

I can’t remember if I stated it in my video, but if you email Angie at CoralVue, then you can have them make you unions that are metric on the top and US standard on the bottom. That will allow you to skip the metric-to-standard fitting and save some vertical space. The unions would connect to your metric pipes inside of the overflow box, and then you could run US standard plumbing from there.

Oh snap. Just ordered the parts. I’ll see if I can call change it up. Thanks!

The unions are on back order I ordered 2 weeks ago and might be a month out due to shipping from China. I havent gotten a update yet

Never owner a water box, so can’t help there. But nice set up and rock scape
