Aloha all!

Just starting another build thread for my Waterbox Cube 10 to journal it’s existence.

This tank is actually a transfer from a Fluval Spec V 5 gallon tank. I actually won a $100 gift card from one of Waterbox’s live streams and decided I wanted to try one of their tanks.

For lighting I’m using an Ai Prime 16HD reef version loaded with a Worldwide Corals template from their 2g nano. The return pump has been upgraded from stock to a Sicce Syncra Nano. I also have an InTank media basket for chamber 2, the middle chamber, holding a bag of Chemi-pure Blue and WB’s bag of bio balls. I have a Duetto ATO keeping the water level where it should be. Flow is provided by an Ai Nero 3 which seems to provide more than enough flow at only 25% setting. I also have an inTank filtration cover tidying up the back end. And for testing purposes, I’m tracking parameters on AquaticLog. Phenom3030’s Waterbox Cube 10 on AquaticLog

For livestock I have two clownfish, a peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, and three margarita snails.
On the coral front I have some Pandora zoas, some green zoas I can’t remember the name of, radioactive something or other, and some blond hair blue eyed zoas. These frags are sitting in an Aquarocks frag rock holder.

So when's the next upgrade...? :cool:
Upgrade in this tank? I’m not sure what else I can add to it. But I’m open for suggestions. Tank upgrade? I think I have too many as is. Between this, a Red Sea reefer XL300, Fluval 32.5G, and a Mini complete tank, I don’t think I can handle anymore. lol.

Not too much of an update. I found a Saxby template to run on my AI Prime. And also added a few more corals, King Midas zoa, watermelon zoa, Halle Berry zoa, Sangria favites, and a juicy fruit pipe organ that has yet to open up. It’s been a few days so I’m not sure if the pipe organ is going to make it.

Added three mangroves! AlgaeBarn had a deal going on, but one get two free so I hopped on it!

once the get taller I’ll get them planted in more sand. Hoping they be okay on the rock and on the sand for now.

I like what you have going on here! I'm running the same setup and programming on my Nero 3 without any issues. I do like how you have it mounted on the back, any issues with the magnet being in the pump chamber? I may move mine!

Thanks! No issues with the magnet being in the pump chamber. It’s right below the return nozzle and sits just fine.
