Personally, any corners I’ve ever cut in this hobby I ended up regretting from the nerves it created. Sitting around wondering if my discount tank was going to burst would drive me crazy. The quality of the tank is what’s preventing your home from being ruined and possibly thousands in coral/fish from dying. Same for equipment, no-name heaters dying and killing stuff, no-name pumps dying and stuff dying, controllers not acting as they should and killing stuff. The more you spend on coral and fish, the more you’ll wish you’d have just got the good stuff for peace of mind.
At least buy from a reputable brand, whatever it is, in particular with the tank itself or you’ll end up with busted seams and ruined floors.

I was curious on these as well but honestly I don’t think there’s any difference between the alibaba and the Waterbox. Waterbox even uses the stock pictures from alibaba on their website lol. I would still buy directly from Waterbox because of warranty and support but it was interesting to see them so cheap without the branding.

That’s pretty wild. I cant believe they’re the exact same picture.
