Got one of my winnings from Saltwateraquariums.com and purchased a 500watt finnex titanium heater for the setup

Also went with the Tropic Eden Mini flakes that I purchased from Premium Aquatics

I didn’t win any sand on the giveaway just the aquaforset line and real reef rock

I'll follow alone, maybe some of that luck will rub off.

For some reason I remember sand was included. Still a good win.

Tried to find the contest post but looks like it’s gone. Think all you needed was water.
Build still will be great. Following along.

I'm confused, why are you calling it The giveaway tank. Is it because it's the same tank? Anyhow, please inform us of the quality of this tank I am thinking of this bring the next tank for me

This is the the setup I won from waterbox when they did the ultimate Giveaway back in February.. What came with the setup was current USA loop system, 120lbs of real reef rock, pacific sun kore 5th doser, cove skimmer, sentry ato, aquaforest line products..

The quality is the best I’ve seen.. I didn’t expect it but when I put the stand together and opened the tank up it just amazed me.. I recommend it 110 percent if your looking to get one you won’t be disappointed. I’ve owned many tanks and this one isn’t going any where I can tell you that

Finally a build thread! Everything is so sleek and good looking. I've heard a few times waterbox is the best bang for your buck, mabye I'll pick a waterbox AIO nano for the next tank @Waterbox Aquariums

I had. 120g a couple years ago and this one has so much more room inside with the center overflow and also I love how it’s not as tall. The sump has so much room and the plumbing was quick to put together.. I’m the type that I’ll buy the tank put together the plumbing and build the stands for them but I’ll take a setup like this anyday.. it took me longer to setup my 60g cube than putting this up
