Advice on Waterbox

bobbykoz · May 3, 2023

Hello all, this is my first post on here and there might be other discussions out there but I’d like to hear any and all advice on people who own Waterbox. I think we all have heard of RS tank failures and I’ve seen alot of videos and heard of disasters through my lfs. So RS is completely out of the question for me. But what I want to now has anyone seen or have had issues with seams on Waterbox. I’m looking at the 220 as of right now so I’m trying to get the information mostly on the bigger tank side. But if anyone wants today their thoughts or experience I’m all ears. Thank you

They and their customer service seems to have a pretty solid reputation. I've only gotten nano tanks from them so its not 100% applicable, but they've been great.

Some of the RedSea failures are on used tanks. I got my Waterbox used from someone local who had it set up for a few years. Checked the seams and they are all great. Had it dry for a month and filled it up and not seeing any bubbles or concerning edges.

I have kept Top Fin tanks and such for 15+ years and then made the move to a WB 130.4 about 3 years ago. Tank, stand, and sump are solid. My only wish on the system was that the stand was the aluminum and the sump was more set up for fleece rollers. The new set ups are all like that now and in part b/c they listen and make changes based on what their customers are calling for. The larger tank was a reef and is now FW but recently picked up a WB 25 for a nano reef and after nearly a year running it has been a great set up as well. Weekly shows and Blue Friday event is great with them as well. I have won towels, t shirts, and a gift card from them over the years.
