At least the volume on your tank is somewhat actual.

I want a 320, but as a peninsula.

Not sure what you are saying. Please explain

He means that 320 is total water volume.
Including sump.

Waterbox has a tendency to list there aquarium volumes as if the sump, display and overflow box in the display are filled to the brim. So the actual water volume of the system running is a fair bit less than what they advertise. They have gotten slightly better than when they first came out but are still pretty inaccurate.

All 3 of those those tanks underneath?

don’t all tank makers include sump? I think when the fresh water is included, only then it’s misleading.

Honestly it’s a gorgeous tank.

I currently have a custom 60 cube. But would seriously consider this tank if/when I upgrade. Stand is major upgrade and makes me more likely to go with this.

Personally, I'd be most concerned about the fact that it is a 7+ foot rimless tank. There's a reason why the vast majority of custom tank builders would never build a rimless tank this size. It does look pretty slick though

Up until recently all tank manufacturers listed the actual sizes of the tank. So if you're shopping for 180-gallon tank the Aqueon which is 72x24x24 inch is nearly 180 Gallons per https://www.firsttankguide.net/calculator.php

I don't see dimensions listed on Waterbox's site so I cant calculate the actual DT volume.

The way we're going with these manufacturers soon we're going to have the volume of mixing station included. Not sure why.

That said, I'm glad to see tank manufacturers wandering into the 7ft long 30" plus wide arena, but why mislead people?

And including ATO reservoir.

That makes me nervous too. It’s definitely gorgeous.

That’s a bummer.

12ft rimless from Custom Aquariums going on 2 years. If it leaks, you'll hear about it

Coming in between 7 and 8k depending on tax, shipping, and what not that is a whole lot of custom tank that could be had. It looks great and all but I personally would pass.

Looks like the page is a work in progress. I can't wait to see the full specs and availability on these. I love the aluminum cabinet and controller locker. Wish they would have used true dual returns though. Going to make a decision on my first display in the next few months. This may have just overtaken Cade as my frontrunner depending on the final information.

It’s beautiful. It would also be under my house cause I live in a trailer lol.

they added 2- 3/4" bottom panels. I am guessing that will help with bowing.
