I have a Waterbox, so......... Red Reefer is a good choice as well, though I've heard of some issues with the quality of their larger tanks atm.
Do you have a sump with your water box? Just checked out their website looks very clean and nice! What size is your tank?

I own a red Sea 425 with failing seams, I'm currently waiting for my new aquaja aquarium, never any red Sea products for me again...
Their warranty and quality sucks

Wow for the price of their tanks I would expect a flawless product and great customer service. I was always considering getting one in the future because their tank and stand setup looks so clean but this def makes me think twice especially since this is the issue I’m having with my current bowfront tank. Sorry to hear that you had to experience that.

I have a Waterbox peninsula 5526 (130 gallon display tank 40 gallon sump). Quality and support is excellent. Highly recommended. Best to you!!
Gorgeous tanks! How long have you had yours ? Thank you not looking forward to breaking the tank down and chasing around the live stock :confused:

Very nice! Are you able to fit a skimmer in one of the chambers or do you just run a sump?
IM has a nice skimmer for on chamber, plus there are other options out there. I have seen a few that did a hang on the back as well.

I have a Red Sea Reefer 750. Also run their RS90 lights and ReefWave45. No issues whatsoever. When I did have a small issue, the customer service was on it quickly. But seems like everyone has their own story to tell. I’ll continue buying their products.

I've only been using them since January, however, seen good growth with my SPS and Zoas. The acros and montis in particular have all had steady growth. I used to run Kessils on my old setup and I like the 90s better.

BRS did a nice video comparing the PAR readings:

Appreciate the info! I currently have xr15 g5 will probably have to get another one or sell and switch over to the 90s. Might as well use this opportunity to get a bigger tank....lol
