Hey. I encourage you to look through other threads. I am in the process of building a peninsula 170. The tank and sump are great but the cabinet was unusable so i built my own. Doors fell off because the anchors were not properly glued etc. Customer service was polite but only offered to send me additional door hardware which did not help. Again, encourage you to look at threads on the cabinets. To me, it was still worth it as the tank and sump components are excellent.
If I were to purchase another tank system, I would not consider anything that has a cabinet made of wood or a wood type material. Only anodized aluminum or the like. The actual tank and sump from Waterbox is good.
Also, if ur looking for a certain minimum for your DT, make sure you investigate how much you are actually getting from Waterbox. They are known to exaggerate their numbers. GL! Getting a new system is always exciting.

My HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!
First off the shipping frieght they use scheduled for Monday delivery, took off work and waited to get a call mid day saying they needed to put on a different truck and it will be delivered first thing next day. Take another day off work waiting to get a call late morning saying dispatch never updated and now they need to deliver of Fri. So now 3 days off work waiting and it gets delivered.
Get ready to assemble stand and missing hardware!! So had to wait for that to arrive. Now FINALLY get to assemble stand and I get to the doors and now they sent 3 Tall hinges and 1 short!
Suppose to have 2 Tall for outside doors and 2 short for inside doors! Now have to wait again for this to be corrected!
Quality control is HORRIBLE! If business is growing faster than you can keep up and I lose quality control, then watch your business tank! No pun intended!

Absolutely love mine everything was super easy to assemble the stand plumbing everything and they have step by step videos online so you don’t have to read the instructions. Two weeks old now pardon the tank door missing might put in on today

I have a Waterbox 100.3, it is 1 year 7months old.
Can't compare to other brands as I had not personally owned them. However, I have had no issues with my tank setup. Tank is really clean and nice, sump is all glass and works well, overflow is glass too, plumbing worked without modification and I had all parts and pieces. Stand imo is solid and sturdy and I think it looks good.
My experience with the 100.3 gets a thumbs up from me. Ha, pic makes stand look unsquare, but it is square and lines up exactly with tank.
