Waterbox lx 330.7- Reefmat install

[N11morales]

Hello everyone!
I was looking into getting the waterbox lx 330.7. I want to add a 1200 Reefmat to the system. Anyone here have this tank and added a reefmat 1200? How did y'all go about plumbing the reefmat to ur drains? Did you just attach the reefmat to the main drain? If not how did you plumb it to connect to the main and secondary drain?
Thanks for y'alls time!

Still in the planning phase of this system! I'm like 99% sold on getting this tank though. Just looking around to see if any of my LFS stores could receive my tank. Possibly get some deals if I can order through them and get all my equipment at their store.

As of right now equipment wise I was thinking:

Reef Octopus Regal 200 Int skimmer
Ecotech Marine Vectra L2
Reefmat 1200
3 xr30 radion blues (will possibly add a 4th or ai blade 66" 2 of those when corals grow and start shading others)
heaters of course


Still looking into wave pumps
thinking about the maxspect gyre 350s for now? Maybe adding a few MP 40 or 60s later on.


Would love some feedback on thoughts for equipment. Open to suggestions.
This is going to be my first large system! My current tank is 70G.

Thanks everyone for the help in advance!

I’m no expert but I believe If you go the Reefmat route I think you will need an adapter to account for the metric fittings in the WB plumbing

I set mine up in March. It is my build thread starting at unloading the truck. I'm happy with mine. Waterbox CS was very responsive with questions I had.

I have not. I want to install a reefmat 1200 but am researching trying to find a guide with parts needed. Not that I'm lazy just old and worn out. It's really hard for me to get down to work under the stand so trying not have to get up and down any more times than needed.

Also planning a rm 1200 on a waterbox tank and wonder if you ended up getting this setup in your sump. I wont be getting the 330LX but have a similar sump measurement for the filter sock compartment. The filter sock comparent measures 8.5" wide where as the 1200 spec says 8.7" wide. not really sure if that extra .2" matters in it fitting?

Here’s the one I put together for my build.

@Raptor72, can you show a bit more detail on that hooked up to the existing tank?
Thanks!
