Waterbox 220.6 Build thread

Well they cycle finished in 12 days. and the tank is ready for fish.
Neptune Systems Apex move is also complete and I really like the look of the clean look of Adaptive Reef controller board.

Does the ReefMat connect out of the box to drain pipe or is there additional adapters need to make it fit ?

Yes everything is included in the box of the ReefMat except PVC primer/glue. You do need to cut (shorten) the Waterbox main drain pipe and then PVC glue the adapter on to the drain.
Below are the fittings you will use and what it looks like connected to the drain.

You may want to consider some small rockwork with caves for the fish to sleep. The aquascape is nice but i didn't see much sanctuary for them. Royal gramma, dottybacks, gobies are a few that will home in a cave. Just my 2 cents. I have s wb 100.3 and love it. Good luck!

Question, how wide is the hanging bit of your Reefmat?

I'm about to buy a Waterbox 190.5 with a 8.5" wide area for socks/roller and seeing if I could get the business end of a Reefmat 1200 in there. If not, will go with a RM 500.

love your tank!

I think 190.5 has the same size as 220.6 , if so with minor mods 1200 will work

Sump

I also think the sumps are the same, if so the 1200 fits no problem.

Scott. Nice build man. For the roller matt 1200. Did you have to cut the main drain or reduce? I have the new infinia 190.5 not super sure

Other than removing the filter sock section as shown above I did end up shorting the main drain where it enters to sump
