Do you guys have any experiences plumbing a main display with one of the waterbox frag tanks? I have a redsea 525xl and want to plumb a waterbox frag tank to it.

I've thought about doing this as well (to a Red Sea 425XL). Super curious if you ever did it or found someone else who did.

Well I think the tricky thing is how you'd modify the internal overflow plumbing of the Waterbox and route it over through the Red Sea Reefer's plumbing. I suppose you could T both of the drain pipes together to one larger pipe and then drill a whole in the back of the Red Sea Reefer stand to plumb it into the same draining area of the sump.
