Hello all, I am starting this build thread to discuss my upcoming tank a Waterbox reef LX 230.5. this will be my first build thread so bare with me.
I just got an email saying that my Reef Lx will ship in 10 days. I will post pictures of it once I get it and list the equipment that I have. , once I get home and can look over what I have.

So just got off a call with Waterbox and the Reef LX is now paid for and I am now just waiting on the shipping date. But before that comes here is some of what I have been doing.

I have not completed, but I am putting up a vinyl wallpaper that I ordered from Amazon. The reason I am not done is I ordered 7 rolls and 2 of the rolls matched up perfectly and the other 5 did not, so I sent them back and ordered 7 new rolls. When they come in I hope to finish this work. I will start to post my equipment list soon

I also bought the same tank! I'll do a build thread later as well, and I'm planning on a youtube channel for the build! Mine should ship out sometime next week as well. Will be fun to compare our tanks!

I should add I'm focusing on mostly SPS in it. Whats your plan for yours for coral?

 

[Marlon_Holland]

I plan on doing a mixed reef. Did you already get your shipping notification? I can't wait to get mine.

I didn't get a notification yet. I paid on Tuesday for the entire tanks remaining balance. They said they will be getting in the tanks this week and then will call and set up a delivery day. They won't just ship them out without contacting you first to make sure the day works and someone is home. I'm guessing mine will be here next week or early the following week. Time to tear apart my current tank and throw stuff in the frag tank to get ready!

A sounds good, I have too get my wall finished and can't wait for the tank to get here.

Will totally post lots! I want to get the tank up this weekend if possible and film the entire process. I'll be starting a youtube channel to log the progress and capture it!

I'll have more videos after this weekend. This was just a quick unpacking and taking some photos.

Now that the tank is here, I will start the build process, next is finding someone to move this bad boy into my basement. Once that is done I will start my aquascape and cycle.

Yes it is a beast. I have a Mover coming to get it to my basement.
