My first build Waterbox Marine X 110.4

[jmgre1991]

I’m new to the world of Saltwater aquariums (had a freshwater tank for many years when I was a teenager)… anyway I went for it.
Having added the first occupants over the weekend I decided it was finally time to post it.
Equipment:
- Skimmer: Nyos quantum 120 (struggling to dial it in, but will get it eventually)
- Pump: Ecotech Marin Vectra 2
- Roller: Reef factory smart roller M
- Lights: AI Prime 16HD Black
- Flow pump: Neptune Apex Wav
- ATO: Red Sea Reef ATO
- Controller: Neptune Apex EL

Wow. Looks so modern

Nice I just ordered the same. Any issues with the stand being wobbly? Thanks

You are off to a good start! What are your plans with the tank?

Looks awesome, congrats!

I'm not experienced so don't take this as gospel: You may want to leave the skimmer and roll entirely off or very low for awhile to let the tank build up its TOC and DOC nutrient stores on the new tank and rock.

I read somewhere about it being slightly wobbly as well, but it is sturdy and solid so perhaps it was an older model they were referencing.

Very nice! I love Waterbox

You are absolutely correct, that pic was snapped right after a 10 day One and Only cycle. Turned off the skimmer and roller during that time.

This looks great! What is it that you've attached the controllers to? Is that aluminium?

 

[jmgre1991]

Thanks! I took inspiration from this thread using a sheet of HDPE and made an inner frame of t-slot aluminum so that I can add to it or attach it in a few more nifty ways.

The new filter sock holders are easily removable to add the fleece roller?

Nice, just set up the same tank. That is a wicked control board!
