Waterbox Cube 15

[OfficialReefWife]

I was a little disappointed to not see any Waterbox owners in the recent posts so I figured I'd start a thread!

I got my tank last fall and I'm part of the fam! I've only modified one thing: I've taken out my filter sock and replaced it with a DIY media basket made out of egg crate. It holds a handful of polyfill, which is so much more cost-effective for my budget and provides the same amount of filtration. Still as silent as ever. Tomorrow I'm adding an IceCap K1 Nano protein skimmer but I haven't really had any issues with swings because all you need filtration-wise can fit in the back! ;)

Who else is part of the #WaterboxFam?

Lovely little tank and welcome to R2R. There are a few water box owners on here. @Fudsey has a 134.5 with a nice build thread.

Welcome to R2R. Nice looking tank. I'm not an owner yet. Seriously thinking about it. They look like great aquariums. How many inches deep is the filtration area in that tank. I've been on there website and they don't seem to have any info about the size of the filtration areas of their AIO's.

The filtration is 14.75 inches deep. The middle section is 7 inches long and approx 3.25 inches wide. I don’t have the exact measurements of the chambers on either side, but I hope this helps! [emoji5]

Yes it helps. I was actually looking for the width. Thank you for the info.

If you don't mind, the next time you have your DIY basket out, post a photo of it. I'm looking at a web site that has a basket for $37.99. I'm always up for saving money. Here is a link. https://intankaquatics.com/waterbox-cube-10-15-and-20-chamber-one-media-basket/#description

That's what I thought. Thanks.

When I get home I’ll post pictures of the build so you can copy it! [emoji4]

I appreciate that. You can wait till you do maintenance.

 

[Reef Dreamer]

Oh, my bad. You said you have pictures of the build. That would be great. Thanks!

 

[flchamp89]

Really nice tank I'll be following your build. Impressive

I got my tank last fall and I'm part of the fam! I've only modified one thing: I've taken out my filter sock and replaced it with a DIY media basket made out of egg crate. It holds a handful of polyfill, which is so much more cost-effective for my budget and provides the same amount of filtration. Still as silent as ever. Tomorrow I'm adding an IceCap K1 Nano protein skimmer but I haven't really had any issues with swings because all you need filtration-wise can fit in the back! ;)

Your tank looks good! I’m just a couple weeks into my WaterBox 15 after disaster struck with my Nuvo 20. It’s been a rough start! Would love to hear your experiences with anemones in the tank and how you like the skimmer.

Awesome tank!

Nice! Actually never knew waterbox makes smaller nano tanks, pretty cool
