Waterbox Mini Penn 15

Tank is looking great! I really like that shot polyp goni, has nice centers to it.

Gotta hate losing coral, I've done it many times myself. Several pieces just on this last transfer :oops:

My stock pump came cracked. The faceplate wouldn't stay on. See corner of faceplate. It is quite possible thats why. Definitely worth a check! They sent a replacement the next day.

Great video. I am also still waiting for the heaters to come in stock.

Keep us up to date! Since you're ahead of me on set up, I am using your build as a reference for things (like knowing those heaters definitely fit perfectly!).

I emailed waterbox. Mine is cracked in the same spot. Hopefully they’ll send me a new one.

Last I checked the Innovative Marine tanks weren't tempered, might want to double check incase they changed that fact but I doubt they have...

They’re not tempered. I double checked with waterbox. It does void the warranty though.

Oh I thought you had said earlier they were tempered. And voids the warranty? Well that's unacceptable ;Bored:p

Good to see life in the Peninsula!!

LOL. I went back and edited. I missed the not. They are not tempered. Safe to drill, but if you do, the warranty is voided.

Phew, thought I was losing my mind for a minute there :oops:

Oh that's exactly how they died! :) I'm gonna buy a blue flashlight for any future transfers. Yours are in a running tank so hopefully you find them soon

Following along. The videos are great BTW.

Yeah. I’m sure if I don’t figure out where I put them, they won’t be long for this world.

Thanks! I’m still a giant noob. But I have a little more knowledge than I did 2 years ago. So figured this way people can correct what I’m doing wrong and out something out there for people who are where I was 2 years ago. LOL

So apparently I did not have the Sicce pump. I some how have the manual for it though. No clue where it came from. I swear it was in the box with the pump. The one that came with the tank (that is cracked) won't be in stock for a few weeks. I asked for a replacement just so I can show how much quieter the pump is when it's not cracked. Plus, it's always good to have a backup.

In the meantime, I ordered a Sicce synca silent 0.5 for the tank because the vibration is driving me BANANAS. It should be here next week.

Thanks for all the postings. Turning out beautiful. Following along and ideas. Expecting a mini 25 in a few weeks. Gathering equipment and researching now. Thanks much.

Sweet! That’s exciting! I think they’re beautiful tanks. It’s making me consider the 320 promax that’s coming out in February. If that stand had the wood option, I’d have already put in my preorder. :cool:

I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case. Haha.

My 0.5 BARELY fits, but it is quiet. Hopefully yours is the same once you get it in!

I also bought a 1.0 that was listed as the exact same dimensions. I may try that out if I ever upgrade to a RFG.

They told me to get the .5. Can't wait to hear how the larger one works.
