WaterBox Experience

[Jfinn]

Looking for some real experience from any owners with larger +120gal Waterbox rimless systems

about to blow out a wall and thinking about the 7225 (since 7226 disappeared)

Just wanting some assurances before forking our $4500+ for a new tank

positives, negatives, regrets with accompanying equipment welcome!

thanks in advance

I have the 6026. Having gone through the process of a custom stand and tank last time, I’m quite happy with this setup

I think today is the last day of 10 percent off. Mine gets delivered tomorrow

What made you pick the peninsula version?

What made you pick the peninsula version?

I have a wall that divides too rooms that a larger tank on either side doesn’t work. Having the tank divide the room is the best option (or so we feel)
Exhibit A

Exhibit B

That’s equal parts helpful and cruel ;-)

But I want to sooo bad!!

Recently set up a 6026 and love it. Only concern with 7225 would be powerhead placement for flow. Beautiful tank otherwise.

 

[Jfinn]

thank you, I guess it can’t hurt to actually put it in my cart, right?

Hardest part for me was the wait. Mine was the full 8 week wait. Love the tank though

 

[Jfinn]

This can’t be good...

Make sure it’s not a bearing wall
And no plumbing, ductwork or electrical issues

I’m sure it IS load bearing, getting quotes for putting in a beam. No plumbing or electrical (or ducting) issues.

Credit card info is in just to see if it fit...gulp! Someone please stop me!

Well looks like the clock ran out on my discount just as I was about to place my order!
West coast time difference I guess

I’m very happy with my Waterbox 170. It looks great, happy with the tank, sump, and stand. The white stands look super modern and that’s what sold me.

I really wanted the open top look, but I lost a few jumpers. I then ordered a lid and I’m not as happy about how it looks. Yes, it keeps the fish in the tank and is the responsible choice, but light bounces off of the lid and draws attention to itself. I thought I would not mind it, but it really stands out (and you lose ~10% of your par).

I’m sure the discount will come back!

What kind of lid? Glass or mesh? Brand??

Thanks so much for the feedback! I sent a note to Waterbox - hoping they hear and get some love to us shoppers on the west coast!
