Redsea Reefer vs Waterbox

[MichaelReefer]

Red Sea guy here. Went from a 250, to my new 525XL. Just set it up yesterday.

I don't own either but I have read on this forum numerous problems with Red Sea and haven't seen any about Water Box.

Red Sea parts everywhere

That's a good point. I emailed Red Sea about upgrading the light on my max nano to the new ReefLED (from the current PrimeHD). $5 plus shipping for the mounting adapter ;Happy

I own a Waterbox 220 and I wouldn't hesitate to buy 3 more. It has been rock solid since the beginning.

thank you! Actually red sea / Waterbox are our dream tanks because of the modern look.

eventuallywhen we buy a more permanent home (we are here for 2-5 years) we will get a custom one built

LOL, this is going to be a Chevy vs Ford type of thread. In reality they are both great, and both have had problems at some point. :)

No it won’t cause both Chevy and Ford are trash

I love my ford explorer and seems like every police department does too.
They only buy reliable cars.

I am in the market for a new tank. I have gone back and forth on Red Sea and water box.
I have also gotten quotes from reef savvy, miracles, And SCA.

At the moment I am most interested in the new innovative marine 170gal 60x30x20 as it dose not come with sump and is my dream dimensions. Coming from 48x30.

miracles was close to the same price as a Red Sea or water box minus the sump but you get a ton of options.

Reef savvy was disappointing to deal with.
SCA was the best price that came with a prebuilt stand.

I mainly disregarded water box and Red Sea due to the IKEA style stands. And not being

happy with their sumps.

DO NOT buy red Sea!

At this moment I have the seams come loose and they are not going to help me in any way!!

which Red Sea tank is this?
