Waterbox 230.6

[fishface1992]

So I’ve waited since black Friday for my WB 230.6 to show up. Today was the day! FedEx arrived and unloaded and left. I started unpacking and assembling the stand when i realized they didn’t send me the doors or side panels!

Unbelievable! I’ll get with them tomorrow to see how long it’s going to take to rectify it but I’m not guessing it will be quick

Guess I’ll cancel the movers and water delivery guy I had scheduled for Thursday

This is gonna be so nice! Sorry for the delay. Maybe they will overnight ship if you use your words. Time to get nice nasty

Thanks. I moved heaven and earth to get my wife to agree to let me put it in the living room instead of the study

Hopefully, she’ll take to it and help you with the livestock selection and upkeep. I was surprised when my wife did, and now I think she’s more into it than I am.

It definitely makes life easier with it in the living room.

That is such a long time to wait for anything just for it to be missing parts! Hopefully they get everything missing to you ASAP,

That is crazy, it took that long to get your tank! Hoping you get your replacement parts soon!

That's my biggest fear when my WB order finally gets here. What if there are damage or missing items unique to the model I ordered. My delivery window is in the next 2 weeks. Please keep us updated.

 

[fishface1992]

WB got back to me right away this morning and advised the doors were shipped separately from the aquarium. Why- im not quite sure. They are coming UPS and the tank came via fedex.

Anyways they should be picked up by UPs today so hopefully I get them by Monday.

I just finished setting up my waterbox 230.6. Im excited to be following along to see your build

 

[fishface1992]

Well that was an ordeal. A week later the doors showed up- damaged. WB promptly has sent now ones. For now I’ve installed the damaged ones and gotten the tank inside as of tonight with the help of my neighbors.

Nothing is sketchy like move a 5k aquarium with $120 in suction cups off of amazon but we got it done without fuss

That's a perfect fit!

Anybody know what I need to connect my waterbox plumbing to my reefmat ? Id like to hardpipe it

Same in the pump- I have a RS 12000 pump to connect to the WB return line

That wait was crazy! Great tank though. I set up the same tank last October. Love it and it’s doing great. I’m also running the RS 1200, but didn’t hard plumb. Good luck with set up.

It’s alive !
