Starting Waterbox 65.4 Build

[Jgill70]

Hello all. I am upgrading to a Waterbox 65.4 AIO tank. I am waiting for the tank to arrive and decided to build my own stand and would love your opinion on it.

Looks amazing. I believe it comes with a leveling mat if not I suggest adding one. Looking forward to seeing this build

Yes it does. Thank you, this was my first attempt at building a stand. I could not justify spending $1000 for a Waterbox stand

Stand looks really nice.
I agree on the leveling mat, you want something between the stand and bottom pane incase there are any imperfections. Also, most aquarium manufacturers recommend a mat, foam, something under the tank. For example, my Glasscages tank requires a 3/4" foam pad underneath it as to not void the warranty.

Are you related to my wife? That's why I built mine... SHE couldn't justify ME spending $1800 on a stand.

I was lucky enough that she agreed to the new tank, lol. She calls this hobby a money pit!!!

Equipment I have so far are 2 Hydra Edge 44 lights, Sicce 2.0 return pump, red sea reef dose 4 head, 2 Maxspect 308 Jump Gyres. I ordered the tank on Nov 23. I'm guessing with the holidays I probably wont get it until sometime in January

Great job with the stand. I had to build mine own too. I couldn’t justify their price and needed something shorter. Following since I have the same tank.
