Yup I contacted them but no response after 3 emails. Also the cover part is tricky....I like Micheal's FramingTech stand.
Don't know about the cover...

Hello all,
Small update about whats going on in my poor mind. I measured the space last sunday and my wife approved me with a final tank size of 54x32x26 inches. I can not go beyond this size as this will mess with the symmetry of the room but I am good with it. Its still a 200G water and wider tank just the way I like it. I already discussed this with James at Envision acrylics and we almost finalized with the tank dimension and other details.
This is the place...
I also received a quote from framingtech but they dont come with a good wrapping option. But I found a possible stand builder I can trust so possibly I will go with him.
I discussed the skimmer option with Adam in detail and possibly its going to be Deltec 1500i. I need to finalize few more detail on that.
After multiple attempt I got hold of Royal exclusive Germany and currently they are finalizing my sump plan as I need some modification. The sump will be 81x49x35 cm. It will have in built media reactors.
For the rock work I am considering some mixed structure with haitian, tonga branch and others. I need to sit with them to decide.

Cool tank size.
If you find a steel or 80/20 builder you like, you might be able to find a different workworker for panels.
Can't wait to see the tank & sump.

That is going to be an amazing tank. Congrats! My tank is 80x24x24 so similar volume but very jealous of your width [emoji13].
Are you going with one of their new sumps including fleece filter? I am never running another tank without one! Water is always polished, zero maintenance and no issues of decomposing matter staying in the filter sock until it is taken out and cleaned. Also no clogging.

A lot has happened since my last update. My Flame angel ;Vamp gone rogue and killed 4 fishes including my 6 line wrasse, 2 lyretail anthias and my favourite copperband butterfly. So I have to dump him in my other so called cycling/frag tank. He is now life imprisonment in that tank.This also impacted my tank biology and an algae outbreak. Nothing major happened but few corals lost their colour.
On a positive note I started acquiring equipment for the upgrade.
The skimmer: Deltec 1500i from my dear Adam Battlecoral
The return pump: Reef octopus Varios 8
My wife decided ;Shifty;Shifty that I need to get a modern and sleek looking budget friendly setup for now so I will possibly get a Red sea peninsula or Waterbox peninsula. I am trying to figure out which one will be more suitable?
I also got a lot of tonga branch and Pukani rocks for my aquascaping and started cycling after cleaning them.

likes words, fish and arbitrary statistics
Sorry about the rogue Angel. I am curious, was there some change to stocking, or the tank that may have caused his behavior to change? Or did he just grow up to be a jerk?
OP
OP
He was the last fish so no change to stocking. They were a happy family for 6 months and suddenly it started. So I will go with your last statement"he just grow up to be a jerk"...lol. Actually I was completely ticked off when he killed my butterfly because that was nice fat butterfly. But possibly I think its time to train another one.

I agree with this, I have had flame angles is the past. They can be aggressive in smaller systems.
I think both would be good choices for systems. Sorry I am no help

Yeah I had one flame earlier and he was a good citizen he died during my tank crash. Somehow this one decided to become a bad boy...

The waterbox systems are good but I am seeing a lot of smaller or bigger issues with their tanks and shipping styles during which things get damaged.They are generally passing those issues saying those are not structural things but still those problems are persistent. On the other hand Red sea is stellar with customer service. So a bit confuse over there.

I agree, I read more about shipping issues/damage caused by the crating of the tanks and packing. The tanks that arrive with out shipping damage, the buys really like in regards to Waterbox. Waterbox has great tankd but having it shipped is a gamble. Red Sea has had some issue with manufacturing in the past and shipping. I am not quite sure but it seamed they were have the issues in the summer of 2017 with seams leaking and some other issues.
Both from what I have read have good customer service.
My opinion it is the shippers and I would say that Red Sea has made a change and Waterbox needs to also find a shipper that will not toss around the products on the loading docks and trucks. That or use a better crater that uses thicker material for the creates. It is a weight thing with shipping. That also means a few more $$ for shipping. Myself I would gladly pay a little more and not have the hassle

Yeah, you got it right. what I am reading that Waterbox shipping is awful and they dont take care of small things. In other words, they will not take care of thing which they dont think are structural issues which is completely relative and vary according to different person. If I receive a tank with its overflow box leaking I will doubt over how the whole tank has been sealed. You dont want 200G of saltwater on the floor. But Red sea generally takes care of things like this and dont ask customer to seal that by themselves.I agree, I read more about shipping issues/damage caused by the crating of the tanks and packing.
