Looks great, I am interested in a waterbox tank and check out all the threads I find on them

Oh I have to apologize for my poor writing skills then! ;Smuggrin Thank you for putting up with my ranting and hard to follow ideas.
I do believe it can run one no problem. If you build a manifold off of the tee I would highly suggest you use a gate valve as the control. if you’re interested in a similar setup as mine I can send the links of where I got everything.

Yes please!

My controller mounts finally came in yesterday! Anyone with a Waterbox, how did you get your doser to the tank? I'm think to just drill a couple small holes in the middle divider to run the lines through and drip into the tank.

Looks great! Some run the lines behind the tank and have it drip into the return pump chamber so it is after the skimmer. Really up to you though. Any dosing I do in the future including my CaRx will go into the return pump chamber.

Its been awhile since I updated anything. Here are a couple pics of the frags I've got so far. Waiting to add fish until I can quarantine them before putting them in the display.

I plumbed in a manifold and UV sterilizer today. I don't have much room, but I think it came out pretty good.

I've got no complaints. The sensor is sensitive, so as soon as you have just a little evaporation it activates the pump so your salinity doesn't change drastically. The couple times my reservoir has ran dry it has successfully shut down the pump to prevent it from burning up. I'd buy it again.

 

[fishlover1478]

cool I'm currently running mine on a 20 long planted tank so not much evaporation

Any updates? Are you going to go the swap meet on Saturday?

Looks good. Impressed with your skills with installing the manifold and UV sterilizer. I’m 4 months into transferring from my !”Biocube to my Waterbox Marine X 110

I'll post some more pics when my lights kick on. I've added more fish and some more sticks. I do plan on going to the swap tomorrow. I've got an elegance that was doing great, but my sponge crab pinched some of its tentacles off when it molted to stick to its back and its still healing. I don't wanna have to mess with that everytime he molts so I'm gonna get rid of the elegance. Would you be interested in trading tomorrow?

Thanks! I have never used UV before and I won't ever not have one now. It keeps my water crystal clear and when I add new fish I decrease the flow to the UV to allow it to kill any waterborne parasites and I haven't had any livestock die since!

ng good right now except I'm trying to get rid of the algae I've got growing everywhere except the sand bed. You can see it in nearly all of these pictures, do you guys know what exactly it is?
