Hey guys! New here and about to start a new build with a WaterBox 290.6 Reef LX. I'm currently running a 65 gallon RedSea that I've had up and going for roughly 5/6 years, love the tank, but it was time for an upgrade! It'll all eventually be transfered over to the new Waterbox and then sold. I've always ran Radions on past tanks, but plan on running 3 x Kessil a500x's for the shimmer and power potential. I've always been much more into LPS and other softies than SPS, but wanted to have the lighting powerful enough to one day get more into SPS's. Just filled the Waterbox a few days ago, I used the CaribSea liferock throughout. I just really loved the simplicity and easy building it allows. Will post some more pictures when I have the lights mounted and on! Would love to hear any feedback or input, thanks guys!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you in Tampa:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
 
I’ve been considering upgrading to the same tank. I think you should start a build thread so I can follow along. I’m very happy with my WB 170. It’s been up and running since 03/19.

Absolutely, I will! I plan to post on here along the journey. I've got my local LFS guy coming over this friday to hook everything up and do all the cable management for me. I'll snap some pictures then of all my equipment plus the rock work I've already got set. Beautiful tank man!

Thanks, I’m excited to follow.
 
How is the build going? Any updates or pictures of ur sump/control board? I'm looking into getting this tank myself. Was curious what controls you are running?
