The Waterbox 20

[Everything Aquatics]

Are you using a different pump? Mine doesn’t seem to be adjustable

I am using a sicce pump not the stock pump, I would recommend an upgrade the stock pump is also very loud

Did you go with the 1.0 or 1.5? Probably going to purchase today.

Thanks

Just hooked up the .5 sicce pump and with a full media basket it’s no longer running dry. Thanks for the tip! Saved me a headache for such a simple fix

Currently showing ammonia at 2ppm and nitrates at .5 ppm. We are moving forward nicely!

Tank is fully cycled and picking up some frags later. I will post pics tonight.

Starting to believe that the Jebao SLW-10 might be a bit too powerful. All the way down it seems to blow the corals pretty hard

You try messing with the placement? What's the lowest setting?

It’s hard to tell. I can turn it down but once I turned it off everything opened up nicely. It’s a little over 1k gph all the way up.

 

[Matty-Ice]

I’m not sure what the lowest setting is on the Jebao SLW-10 but I have it angled a bit up and everything is open just still seems kinda high flow for a softy and lps tank. I guess time will tell.

Ok after a few days of letting it run everything is happy. Had a Midas blenny for about 48 hours and he made the dive for the carpet during the night. Long story short the cats found him before me.
Next step, a lid.

I will post full pics this evening of the tank.

Ah! I went with the D-D Jumpguard Pro after one of my clowns jumped out.

Yeah the jump guard pro is pretty much what I have. I used a window screen kit and clear mesh from Lowe’s. Same as Jim guard and about $15 cheaper!

I’ve been looking at these and Octolids both. Might be my next purchase. Sorry for the late reply I’ve been gone and let the wife watch the tank for a few weeks. Just got back today

Merry Christmas everyone! Sorry for taking so long, but here is where my tank is now!
