I noticed on the platinum reef it says "Each platinum series includes a glass sump with ATO reservoir that can be converted to a refugium". Can you explain how this works please?

5 gallons disappears in less than a week in my house so that's not an option for me.

Do you have any info on this?

We have members on here that have done it, here are two threads I could grab real quick that show what they did. You can also join our Waterbox Aquariums Group page on Facebook, has some examples on there as well.

Might want to fix the table on the site. It doesn’t render correctly fir phones. You can’t see all the stats, like the AIO table.

Ah, I though it was something that didn't require modifying. Thanks for the info.

I will look at our this morning, I promise, we got super busy yesterday and I honestly didn't get around to it,

The spin stream nozzles come with different sized rubber boots to allow for different sized outputs, did you get your spin stream nozzle kit yet???

Just ordered the 170.4/5. I love the dimensions of these things and quite a bit cheaper than Red Sea. I couldn't quite fit a 5' where I wanted it so at 55" this will be perfect. That 26" width is also perfect. I agree that a couple inches shorter in height would have been a little nicer but overall I really like the options. Now just the wait until middle of June!

It will be well worth the wait!

Wow. It’s like we are twinsies! I have the 170.4/5 on order too and although length and depth was perfect, I’m just worried that the 24 inch tall is not to my liking

I have a 20" tall now and it's perfect for everything. I can reach the bottom no problem. All grabbies can also reach the bottom without getting hands wet at all. The 24" won't be bad at all, just need to adjust how I do things a bit and it's definitely worth the tradeoff of convenience and price of a bulk unit instead of custom made.

Any idea when the 230.6’s will hit American Soil?

Still waiting for the shipment of mine. Apparently the Pros haven't even arrived in US yet? That's disappointing. Normally they arrive before the release date and ready to ship on the date.
