Looking for another aquarium

I’m considering waterbox for a new aquarium, any opinions on their quality? Any recommendations on a manufacturer? Looking for a foot print of 36X18X16”H or 18” H.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Waterbox. You could get the 100.3 and it would be a great system! The quality is top notch and I have had ZERO complaints or issues with my 230.6

Any other opinions? I’m looking for aquarium only, will do my own filtration system. How’s the build quality of the tanks? Are the edges beveled and polished? The seams and edges line up properly? Glue thickness consistent? Can you post some close up pics? Thx

I can get some pics for you this evening. Everything is FANTASTIC, edges beveled and line up perfectly, clean silicone, etc. If you are looking for a tank only the Waterbox may not be for you though. I am not sure if they sell tank only, at least I have never seen it happen. I know people seem to like the Innovative Marine tanks, and you can get just a tank. I have never seen one in person but, like I said, people seem to really like them.

I have been VERY happy with the sump that came with my system. The sump design was actually one of the things that convinced me to get the Waterbox over a Red Sea Reefer.

There’s an online store selling a waterbox 44 G 36 x 18x 16h tank only aquarium for $500. It’s clear silicone and not reef ready but that’s ok, I can drill and do my own custom overflow and return holes for bulkheads. I want the tank to look like custom build quality not someone who glued the tank together in their backyard. Lol
