I'm just about to place my order for the WaterBox Infinia Reef 150.4

I've watched several videos etc and I noticed something tonight I've never read about or heard mentioned or seen. This is a Waterbox tank on Parker's Reef YT Channel from 2020. In the screen shot below you can clearly see a "White Drip Pan" made for the Waterbox cabinet.

Is this a standard item? Is it something that can be Special Ordered from Waterbox?

I was recently binging his videos and I'm pretty sure what you're looking at is a fully DIY made cabinet and sump tray. I think possibly it was done as part of a custom sump video he did. You can double check by going and finding the video he did on it.

Ahhh that makes sense. I was re-watching it and the stand was there long before the tank so I bet you're hit the nail on the head.

THANK YOU!

I like this idea and have thought about how I could incorporate something like this into my system.

I like the idea of catching water from accidents. I would install a drain with a container to catch water so that it can be reused.

I too want to have some type of "Water Catch" because I know how many times I've spilled small amounts of water here and there.

To be honest, I wasn't aware of how much "dripped" under my last stand until I moved out of the house and had to pay a Floor Finisher to come in and redo that whole room. It would be MUCH cheaper to do a Drip Pan than get my existing floor refinished.

If I can't figure out the "Drip Tray" in time, I'll install a Floor Mat or something under the stand.

You could probably use something like a cargo trunk liner by Weathertech.

Obviously, it would not be custom, but you would only need one big enough to hold the sump.
