Show Off Your WaterBox! :)

Beautiful tanks, why the decision to use two 7" socks on 170.4/5 instead of four standard 4" socks, would it not provide better filtration, more filtering options ie cups+marine pure etc and it would probably be more cost effective to only manufacture a WB 4" sock and cup right?

The 7" socks have a lot more surface area and can run longer without cleaning. I have 4 4" socks on my bigger tank and wish I had went with 7" instead.

Glad I got my WB when I did! surprised at the recent price increase though, now same as Red Sea. Love my WB 170.4/5 though!

I ordered the 18x18x36 stand, when will those be available?

End of this month!

 

[Medicreefer]

Are you guys going to put out filter cups for the ones that do not like socks?

Are the wb socks not standard 4" or 7" sizes?

 

[jschultzbass]

They are standard sizes. Any of the the filter cups out there should work.

Here is my waterbox 40.1! I've been very happy with it so far. Great aquarium and built quality! It can get a little noisy depending on your water level but not too much. Anyone know a good skimmer that would fit in this sump? I've had a hard time finding a skimmer that would fit other then maybe the tunze 9004 skimmer.

 

[Fudsey]

@techlifejourney What are the dimensions of the skimmer area? Maybe a RO 110 SSS will fit?

 

[Coral Newbie]

Hey @Waterbox Aquariums can you purchase your tanks with out the sumps???

 

[Georgie]

Hi guys, not to hijack the thread. But im leaning https://www.waterboxaquariums.com/product/waterbox-silver-marine-aio-50-3-plus/ or one of the waterboxes with a sump, maybe the 70.3. Any recommendations, the aio will be cheaper. The one with sump will have to spend 1k on stuff. HELPPP PLZZZ

My new Waterbox 170.4/5
Need recommendations for the ATO section. I will not be using it for fresh water. I was thinking Fuge but the water level is really close to the top. Any thoughts?

We all gonna ignore the sump with the frag tank?!? That's awesome. Is that the sump that came wit the tank?

Care to explain whats going on In there?

Thanks. So it does come with the divider/overflow but I just made the rack and it is a little over kill but I am lighting it with an A360. It is working awesome and I use one of the manifold exits for water flow

So legit, so youre not running cheato?

Gonna steal this idea for future tank. Also do you run into any heat problems in there?There must be lost of evaporation

Can I buy 7226 Peninsula without sump

We do not sell our systems without the sump. You can always sell the included sump and use your own if desired.

Waterbox peninsula 7226

I decided to start a build thread just so I can also document my reefs progress.

This week will be a faster pace because the wife gave me a deadline to transfer everything in my 75 gallon to my new tank before Dec 2.

Planning on a picture heavy thread

Here’s my 170.4/5. I’d have to say I am really impressed and glad I went with this over Red Sea. The 26 inch depth from front to back you cannot get that with other prebuilt tanks and that’s the primary reason I went with the Waterbox. No regrets...
