Waterbox Aquariums

[EHaddad]

I am on Marine Depot looking at these aquariums. I have never heard anything about this brand of aquarium. Does anyone here have one, and if so what are the pros and cons to it.

Probably should just just search water box in the top haha... im personally between a water box 80.4 or a red sea 350.

I have seen them, they are beautiful aquariums. Several folks have them on the forum. @Fudsey can probably help answer a question or two.

2 fine choices imo. For me, picking between the two would be tough.

I love shallow tanks which is why im looking at the 80.4. But my best tank i ever had was taller so thats why im leaning at the red sea. If i want a 4' standard sized waterbox i have to jump up to the 135 and i dont want that much water

It's only a 96 or 98 gal tank with the sump of 35 is where they get the number. I love my 135.4 and I find it very well built.

Just got mine two days ago 100.3 and I love it hopefully I have it up and running in a couple days
It’s well built cabinet is solid
Love the sump
The glass overflow the size and dimensions

Is there any other way to level the cabinet for the tank other than the foam mat?

Just got my 100.3 a couple days ago hopefully I have it wet next week
Love the whole setup ,the cabinet ,the sump ,the glass overflow
Cabinet is really heavy and solid well built ,don’t care what anybody says this tank is reaallly nice!
I had a 75g deep sea blue which is 4 ft long but I really the dimension on the 100.3 36length24width and 21 or 22 height
I was torn between the redsea 350 and the 100.3 never owned redsea so I can’t speak on it but I went with the Waterbox after seeing both in person at my lfs

Did you make the lid yourself? or did you buy it custom? I "quote" instead of Reply I'm not sure if that messed up my message lol sorry

It's the RedSea one sold by BRS. There are a bunch of bad reviews of this kit but if you take your time putting in the spline, it will work out great.
